Resistin is an adipokine produced in white adipose tissue that is thought to modulate insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues (such as liver, skeletal muscle or adipose tissue). Human and murine resistin molecules share only about 60% sequence homology.

Evidence for functional pre-coupled complexes of receptor heteromers and adenylyl cyclase
It is unclear whether GPCRs, G proteins and adenylyl cyclase (AC) associate through random collisions or defined pre-coupling mechanisms. Using a peptide-based approach, the authors show that heteromers of adenosine A2A and dopamine D2 receptors form pre-

pH sensing via bicarbonate-regulated ‘soluble’ adenylyl cyclase (sAC)
Soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) is a source of the second messenger cyclic adenosine 3',5' monophosphate (cAMP). sAC is directly regulated by bicarbonate (HCO3-) ions. In living cells, HCO3- ions are in nearly instantaneous equilibrium with carbon

Ovarian cancer G-protein-coupled receptor 1 (OGR1), previously proposed as a receptor for sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), has recently been identified as a proton-sensing or extracellular pH-responsive G-protein-coupled receptor stimulating inositol ...

Biochemical pharmacology of adenylyl cyclases in cancer
Globally, despite extensive research and pharmacological advancement, cancer remains one of the most common causes of mortality. Understanding the signaling pathways involved in cancer progression is essential for the discovery of new drug targets. The adenylyl cyclase (AC) superfamily comprises glycoproteins that regulate intracellular signaling and ...

Macrophage adenylyl cyclase 7 protects against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in male mice
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury undermines the clinical benefit of percutaneous coronary intervention, with cardiac macrophages playing critical roles. Here, using spatial transcriptomics and flow cytometry, we identified adenylyl cyclase 7 (

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is characterized by progressive bilateral cyst formation. Multiple cellular pathways including second messenger cAMP signaling are dysregulated in ADPKD, but mechanisms initiating cysts are unknown ...
