Uroguanylin, a member of the guanylin peptide family, is an endogenous activator of intestinal guanylate cyclase (GC-C). A cDNA encoding a precursor for human uroguanylin was cloned from a human colon cDNA library and sequenced. The precursor was 112 amino acids long and included a signal peptide at the N-terminus and the human uroguanylin sequence at the C-terminus. RNA blot analysis and the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) showed that human uroguanylin mRNA is expressed in the stomach and intestine. Uroguanylin, as well as guanylin, may be a potent physiological regulator of intestinal fluid and electrolyte transport.
