- Pathway Narrative:
Adenylyl Cyclase, a catalytic protein located in the cell membrane, is bound by the G Alpha subunit, resulting in the conversion of ATP to cyclic AMP.
- Type:
- Protein
- Function/Job:
- Acts as a energy converter to convert ATP to cAMP
- Interacts with:
- G alpha Subunit, ATP, cAMP
- Interesting Facts:
AC is an integral transmembrane protein with 12 transmembrane segments as well as a large cytoplasmic domain. There are 10 different variants of AC found in the human body. Here, we are showing AC type 10.
