Endogenous peptide activator of intestinal guanylyl cyclase; secreted mainly by the gastrointestinal mucosa. Regulates water and electrolyte transport in intestinal and renal epithelia.

Guanylin (human) TFA is a 15-amino acid peptide that serves as an endogenous activator of intestinal guanylate cyclase. This compound is primarily located in the gastrointestinal tract, where it regulates electrolyte and water transport in the intestinal and renal epithelia through a mechanism dependent on cyclic GMP.
