"Too much of a good thing can hurt you." "It's all good." We've all heard phrases like this, and know that they contain some truth. For example, both life essentials water and sunshine can harm us.

Carbon monoxide is one of the gaseous signal molecules. It activates guanylyl cyclase and cGMP in smooth muscle and neural tissue.

NO is otherwise a poisonous gas but is a signal molecule in the body with the main  function in muscle contraction and blood vessel dilation.
