ADCY1, Adenylate cyclase type 1, ATP pyrophosphate-lyase 1, Adenylate cyclase type I, Adenylyl cyclase 1, Ca(2+)/calmodulin-activated adenylyl cyclase
This gene encodes a member of the of adenylate cyclase gene family that is primarily expressed in the brain. This protein is regulated by calcium/calmodulin concentration and may be involved in brain development. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013],catalytic activity:ATP = 3,5-cyclic AMP + diphosphate.,cofactor:Binds 2 magnesium ions per subunit.,enzyme regulation:Activated by calcium/calmodulin. Inhibited by the G protein beta and gamma subunit complex.,function:This is a calmodulin-sensitive adenylyl cyclase. May be involved in regulatory processes in the central nervous system. It may play a role in memory acquisition and learning.,similarity:Belongs to the adenylyl cyclase class-4/guanylyl cyclase family.,similarity:Contains 2 guanylate cyclase domains.,tissue specificity:Brain, retina and adrenal medulla.,
