background:
The membrane bound adenylyl cyclases (ACs) represent one of the major families of effector enzymes for G protein coupled receptors. Eight human AC isoforms (ASLC1 through ASLC4) have been identified up to now and genes for at least nine adenylate cyclase (ASLC1-ASLC9) have been cloned characterized and sequenced.
This is a calmodulin-sensitive adenylyl cyclase which may be involved in regulatory processes in the central nervous system. It may play a role in neuronal plasticity, memory acquisition and learning and is expressed predominantly in the brain, retina and adrenal medulla.
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.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Brain, retina and adrenal medulla.
Similarity:
Belongs to the adenylyl cyclase class-4/guanylyl cyclase family.
Contains 2 guanylate cyclase domains.

腺苷酸环化酶(adenylate cyclase, AC) 是G蛋白偶联受体家族之一，是膜整合蛋白,它的氨基端和羧基端都朝向细胞质。AC在膜的细胞质面有两个催化结构域,还有两个膜整合区,每个膜整合区分别有6个跨膜的α螺旋。哺乳动物中已发现6个腺苷酸环化酶异构体。由于AC能够将ATP转变成cAMP,引起细胞的信号应答,因此,腺苷酸环化酶是G蛋白偶联系统中的效应物。
