**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human GUCY2C wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 12p12 and is approximately 84 kb in length. This allele, which encodes heat-stable enterotoxin receptor protein, plays a role in the mediation of ligand-mediated nucleotide cyclase activity. Mutation of the gene is associated with congenital diarrhea type 6 and meconium ileus.
