Enterochromaffin cells of the digestive system: cellular source of guanylin, a guanylate cyclase-activating peptide.

Guanylin, a bioactive peptide, has recently been isolated from the intestine; this peptide activates intestinal guanylate cyclase (i.e., guanylate cyclase C) and thus is potentially involved in the regulation of water/electrolyte transport in the gastrointestinal mucosa. As yet, the cells involved i...
