Stimulation of electro-olfactogram responses in the main olfactory epithelia by airflow depends on the type 3 adenylyl cyclase [PDF]
Cilia of olfactory sensory neurons are the primary sensory organelles for olfaction. The detection of odorants by the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) depends on coupling of odorant receptors to the type 3 adenylyl cyclase (AC3) in olfactory cilia.

Allosteric Inhibition of Adenylyl Cyclase Type 5 by G-Protein: A Molecular Dynamics Study
Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) have a crucial role in many signal transduction pathways, in particular in the intricate control of cyclic AMP (cAMP) generation from adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Insulin secretion is widely thought to be maximally stimulated in glucose concentrations of 16.7-to-30 mM (300-to-540 mg/dL). However, insulin secretion is seldom tested in hyperglycemia exceeding these levels despite the Guinness World Record being 147 ...

Cyclic AMP signalling in pancreatic islets [PDF]
Cyclic 3'5'AMP (cAMP) is an important physiological amplifier of glucose-induced insulin secretion by the pancreatic islet β-cell, where it is formed by the activity of adenylyl cyclases, which are stimulated by glucose, through elevation in ...

Signaling pathways of red blood cells’ (RBCs) micromechanics regulation, which are responsible for maintaining microcirculation, constitute an important property of RBC physiology. Selective control over these processes may serve as an indispensable tool

Genetic and biochemical analysis of the adenylyl cyclase-associated protein, cap, in Schizosaccharomyces pombe [PDF]
We have identified, cloned, and studied a gene, cap, encoding a protein that is associated with adenylyl cyclase in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

In the early 1960s, Earl Sutherland and his colleagues performed a series of experiments that led to the understanding that the positive inotropic effects of β-adrenergic agonists were mediated by the activation of the enzyme adenylyl cyclase (AC) and the subsequent production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).1 By measuring tissue cAMP levels ...

Adenylyl cyclase type 5 (AC5), as the principal isoform expressed in striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs), is essential for the integration of both stimulatory and inhibitory midbrain signals that initiate from dopaminergic G protein-coupled receptor ...

Event Timing in Associative Learning [PDF]
Associative learning relies on event timing. Fruit flies for example, once trained with an odour that precedes electric shock, subsequently avoid this odour (punishment learning); if, on the other hand the odour follows the shock during training, it is ...
