GlossaryAdenylate Cyclase

enzyme converting ATP to cAMP, crucial for cell signaling

Adenylate Cyclase (AC) is an enzyme found in cell membranes that converts ATP (adenosine triphosphate) into cyclic AMP (cAMP). This conversion is crucial because cAMP acts as a second messenger in various biological processes, including the regulation of metabolism, gene expression, and cell growth.
