Fluorescence dequenching makes haem-free soluble guanylate cyclase detectable in living cells.

In cardiovascular disease, the protective NO/sGC/cGMP signalling-pathway is impaired due to a decreased pool of NO-sensitive haem-containing sGC accompanied by a reciprocal increase in NO-insensitive haem-free sGC.
