a sGC is an heterodimer requiring both one α and one β subunit

b For each protein and diseases, the proximity quantifies the significance of closeness of the set of proteins to the disease-genes, producing negative z-scores for protein–disease pairs that are closer in the interactome compared to random expectation

c The p-value was calculated using the proximity score (z), corresponding to the probability that a randomly selected protein having the same degree in the interactome as the protein of interest would be at least as close to the disease genes than the observed distance in the interactome

d For stroke (annotated as cerebrovascular disease in MeSH), α2-subunit, which is predominantly expressed in neurons has the third highest score

e The active β1 subunit has the second highest score
