Guanylin and uroguanylin are peptides that activate a membrane guanylate cyclase and control salt and water transport. Intestinal bacteria secrete toxins that mimic the actions of these peptides, causing a secretory form of diarrhea. Stimulation of guanylin/uroguanylin receptors in the kidney increases salt excretion. Thus guanylin and uroguanylin may regulate salt and water homeostasis.
