Summary
Mechanisms and sites of renal actions of guanylin peptides are still not completely understood. Renal receptors for guanylin peptides are probably G-protein-coupled. The influences of guanylin peptides on natriuresis, kaliuresis, and diuresis are complex and only further detailed studies will allow a complete understanding of the function of these peptides.
