Characterization of the active site of ADP-ribosyl cyclase [PDF]
ADP-ribosyl cyclase synthesizes two Ca2+ messengers by cyclizing NAD to produce cyclic ADP-ribose and exchanging nicotinic acid with the nicotinamide group of NADP to produce nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate.

ADP-ribosyl cyclase coupled with receptors via G proteins [PDF]
Crude cell membranes in mammalian cells contain ADP-ribosyl cyclase, which converts NAD+ to cyclic ADP-ribose. Acetylcholine either increases or inhibits this activity in NG108-15 neuronal cells and adrenal chromaffin cells in a muscarinic receptor ...
