A Cyclase IX Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Target Background

Adenylate cyclase is a membrane bound enzyme that catalyses the formation of cyclic AMP from ATP. It is regulated by a family of G protein-coupled receptors, protein kinases, and calcium. The type 9 adenylyl cyclase is a widely distributed adenylyl cyclase, and it is stimulated by beta-adrenergic receptor activation but is insensitive to forskolin, calcium, and somatostatin. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],catalytic activity:ATP = 3',5'-cyclic AMP + diphosphate.,cofactor:Binds 2 magnesium ions per subunit.,enzyme regulation:Insensitive to calcium/calmodulin, forskolin and somatostatin. Stimulated by beta-adrenergic receptor activation.,function:May play a fundamental role in situations where fine interplay between intracellular calcium and cAMP determines the cellular function. May be a physiologically relevant docking site for calcineurin.,similarity:Belongs to the adenylyl cyclase class-4/guanylyl cyclase family.,similarity:Contains 2 guanylate cyclase domains.,tissue specificity:Expressed in multiple cells of the lung, with expression highest in airway smooth muscle.,
