Question

In the nitric oxide signaling pathway, nitric oxide activates an enzyme that can convert many molecules of gtp into molecules of cgmp. cgmp is a small molecule that can diffuse through the cytoplasm and bind to an enzyme called protein kinase g (pkg). binding of cgmp to pkg leads to a change in the confirmation of pkg that leads to its activation. what type of signaling molecule is cgmp?

Answer 1

CGMP is a second messenger.
