| Function |
Receptor for the E.coli heat-stable enterotoxin (E.coli enterotoxin markedly stimulates the accumulation of cGMP in mammalian cells expressing GC-C). Also activated by the endogenous peptides guanylin and uroguanylin.

| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23269669}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23269669}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23269669}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23269669}. Note=The 145 kDa plasma membrane form of GC-C contains sialic acid and galactose residues, while a differencially glycosylated 130 Kda form is a high mannose form that is resident in the endoplasmic reticulum and may serve as the precursor for the cell surface form.
