the enzyme that converts ATP into cyclic AMP; it is located in cell membranes and is activated when messenger molecules (e.g., neurotransmitters or hormones) bind to specific molecular receptors on the cell surface
Enzyme catalyzing the formation of cyclic AMP from ATP.
the enzyme which changes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into adenosine 3', 5' cyclic monophosphate (cAMP). It has an important role in controlling mechanisms within a cell.
Protein toxin produced and secreted by Bordetella pertussis and B. bronchiseptica; catalyzes synthesis of cAMP and is host calmodulin-dependent. Consist of two domains, a hemolysin domain that mediates translocation and the enzyme adenylate cyclase. (Lecture: Bordetella pertussis and B. bronchiseptica, 3/14/02)
A membrane-bound enzyme that catalyzes formation of cyclic AMP (cAMP) from ATP. Binding of certain ligands to their cell-surface receptors leads to activation of adenylate cyclase and a rise in intracellular cAMP.
The enzyme that converts ATP to cyclic AMP.
An enzyme bound to the inner surfaces of cell membranes that can convert ATP to cyclic-AMP; also called adenylyl cyclase.
Adenylate cyclase (, also known as adenylyl cyclase or AC) is a lyase enzyme.
