Abstract
Endogenous peptides and structurally similar bacterial heat-stable enterotoxins (ST) bind guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C), resulting in fluid homeostasis or diarrhea, respectively. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Carey et al., show how bats have evolutionarily maintained homeostatic signaling while avoiding pathogenic effects of ST. Published by Elsevier Inc.Entities:
