| Protein Family | G-protein coupled receptor 1 family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
Receptor for prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2 or PGI2). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G(s) proteins which activate adenylate cyclase.

| Factor Name | Guanylate cyclase soluble | Structure Sequence | |||||||
| Protein Family | Adenylyl cyclase class-4/guanylyl cyclase family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
There are two types of guanylate cyclases: soluble forms and membrane-associated receptor forms. Activated by nitric oxide in the presence of magnesium or manganese ions.

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | Sodium nitrite should be used with caution in the presence of concomitant antihypertensive agents, diuretics, vasodilators, or PDE5 inhibitors. Hemodynamics should be monitored during and after administration of sodium nitrite, and the infusion rate decreased if significant hypotension occurs. In addition, methemoglobin levels should be monitored and oxygen administered during treatment whenever possible. | ||||||||
