adenylate cyclase activity
Definition
Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the reaction: ATP = 3',5'-cyclic AMP + diphosphate. [EC:4.6.1.1]
Adenylate cyclase activity is a critical molecular function involved in the synthesis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), a ubiquitous second messenger that plays a central role in cellular signaling. The enzyme catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cAMP and pyrophosphate (PPi). This reaction occurs in a two-step process: first, ATP binds to the active site of the enzyme. Second, the enzyme cleaves the phosphodiester bond between the alpha and beta phosphates of ATP, releasing PPi and forming cAMP. cAMP then diffuses away from the enzyme and binds to downstream effector proteins, such as protein kinase A (PKA), which are responsible for initiating a variety of cellular responses. These responses include, but are not limited to, changes in gene expression, cell growth, differentiation, metabolism, and neurotransmission. Adenylate cyclase activity is tightly regulated by a variety of factors, including hormones, neurotransmitters, and G proteins. The activity of the enzyme can be either stimulated or inhibited, depending on the specific signal received by the cell. This regulation ensures that cAMP levels are appropriately controlled, allowing for the proper functioning of cellular signaling pathways.'
