Reduced expression of sGC, correlating with differential expression of MAML2, in stroke prone and spontaneously hypertensive rats was also seen, and RNA-Seq data demonstrated correlations between JAG1, NOTCH3, MAML2 and FRYL and the sGC subunits GUCY1A3 and GUCY1B3 in human coronary artery. This evidence concerns the gene SGCB and stroke disorder.
