Abstract

The biochemical aspects of cGMP signalling are well known, although in vivo roles of cGMP have only been recently discovered through work in genetic model organisms. The Drosophila melanogaster Malpighian (renal) tubule has been used to address the roles of cGMP in epithelial function. Here, we describe some of this work and outline recent progress in understanding the organotypic function of novel phosphodiesterases encoded by the D. melanogaster genome.
