Detection of GUCY2C antibody in HEK293 Human Cell Line Transfected with Human GUCY2C and eGFP antibody by Flow Cytometry.

Detection of GUCY2C in HEK293 Human Cell Line Transfected with Human GUCY2C and eGFP by Flow Cytometry.

HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line transfected with (A) human GUCY2C or (B) irrelevant transfectants and eGFP was stained with Rabbit Anti-Human GUCY2C Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2157) followed by APC-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0111). Quadrant markers were set based on control antibody staining (Catalog # MAB1050). View our protocol for Staining Membrane-associated Proteins.

Guanylyl Cyclase C/GUCY2C in LS1034 Human Cell Line.

Guanylyl Cyclase C/GUCY2C was detected in immersion fixed LS1034 human colorectal carcinoma cell line (positive) and HCT-116 human colorectal carcinoma cell line (negative) using Rabbit Anti-Human Guanylyl Cyclase C/GUCY2C Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2157) at 3 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL004) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell membrane. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.

Background: Guanylyl Cyclase C/GUCY2C

GUCY2C (Guanylyl Cyclase C), also known as heat-stable enterotoxin receptor, is a type I transmembrane protein of the guanylate cyclase (gc) family that signal by producing cGMP (1, 2). GUCY2C contains a 23 amino acid (aa) signal sequence, a 407 aa extracellular region (ECD), a 24 aa transmembrane (TM) segment and a 619 aa cytoplasmic domain (3). The ECD of human GUCY2C shares 71% and 72% aa identity with mouse and rat GUCY2C, respectively (4). GUCY2C was first identified as the intestinal epithelial receptor regulating fluid and electrolyte transport in the secretory diarrhea induced by bacterial enterotoxins (5). Endogenous ligands of GUCY2C include guanylin and uroguanylin (6). GUCY2C in epithelial cells plays an important role in cell dynamics and homeostatic balance of proliferation, metabolism, and differentiation that organizes the guanylyl cyclase C hormone axis (2, 6). GUCY2C is also expressed in the brain and is implicated in attention deficiency and hyperactive behavior (2, 7). CAR-T cell therapy utilizing GUCY2C to treat metastatic colorectal cancer is currently being explored (8).
