Cyclic 3'-5' guanosine monophosphate-dependent activity in Leishmania amazonensis

Although there are some data concerning the nitric oxide and the cyclic 3'-5'guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway in trypanosomatids, there is no report about the cGMP-dependent enzymatic activity identification. In this sense, a cGMP dependent activity was detected on soluble...
