Cyclic GMP (Research only) 
(c-GMP, cGMP)
	        
	
		Clinical Decription:
 		
		Guanosine 3',5' cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) is a key intracellular second messenger molecule which tranduces cellular signaling events in response to a variety of hormones, autacoids and drugs.
This assay is based on the competition between free cGMP and a cGMP-acetylchotinesterase (AChE)) conjugate (cGMP tracer) for a limited number of cGMP-specific rabbit antibody binding sites.
