Description

Guanosine Monophosphate is a type of Nucleotide (a Ribonucleotide).

 

Guanosine Monophosphate Enhances the Function of these Substances

Nucleic Compounds

 GMP is a precursor for the production of Guanosine Diphosphate (GDP).

 GMP is a component of Ribonucleic Acid (RNA).

 

These Substances Enhance the Function of Guanosine Monophosphate

Enzymes

 Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) catalyzes the conversion of cyclic GMP (cGMP)  to Guanosine Monophosphate.  This activity of PDE5 is undesirable for men seeking to attain/sustain Erections.

 

Nucleic Compounds

 Cyclic GMP is converted to GMP (by the Phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme).  It is noteworthy that this conversion impairs the ability of men to attain/sustain Erections.
