tibial crest (medicine) and guanyl cyclase (medicine)


tibial crest (medicine)


tibial crest -->
anterior border of tibia


The sharp subcutaneous ridge of the tibia that extends from the tuberosity to the anterior part of the medial malleolus.

Synonym: margo anterior tibiae, anticnemion, shin, tibial crest.


guanyl cyclase (medicine)


guanyl cyclase -->
guanylate cyclase
<enzyme> That is responsible for catalysing the synthesis of guanosine 3', 5' cyclic monophosphate from guanosine 5' triphosphate (cyclic GMP cGMP) is used as a second messenger in heart muscle and photoreceptor cells). Plasma membrane form of guanylate cyclase is Integral membrane proteins with an extracellular receptor for peptide hormones, a transmembrane domain, a protein kinase like domain and a guanylate cyclase domain.

Examples: sea urchin receptors for speract and resact and atrial natriuretic peptide receptors. Two soluble forms of guanylate cyclase are also known they are heterodimers of highly related subunits, 70-80 kD.
