Summary Introduction

To write:

The targets of Cyclic guanosine monophosphate or cGMP in rod muscle cells and smooth muscle cells.

Introduction:

Protein Kinase A or PKA is a protein which depends on the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (or cyclic AMP or cAMP) activity. If cAMP is absent, then it is deactivated. PKA helps in carrying the signal-transduction pathways and phosphorylates the proteins by the addition of a phosphate group. Cyclic guanosine monophosphate or cGMP is a form of a cyclic nucleotide. cGMP is usually derived from guanosine triphosphate (GTP) and behaves as a second messenger similarly like cAMP.
