Noun
adenylyl (plural adenylyls)
(organic chemistry) A functional group derived from adenosine monophosphate, also known as 5-adenylic acid
Adenylyl cyclase catalyzes the conversion of ATP to 3',5'-cyclic AMP Classes Class I The first class of adenylyl cyclases occur in many bacteria including E. coli. Source: Internet
Class II These adenylyl cyclases are toxins secreted by pathogenic bacteria such as Bacillus anthracis and Bordetella pertussis during infection. Source: Internet
Class III These adenylyl cyclases are the most familiar based on extensive study due to their important roles in human health. Source: Internet
Photoactivatable adenylyl cyclase (PAC) was discovered in E. gracilis and can be expressed in other organisms through genetic manipulation. Source: Internet
The two signal pathways are connected together by Ca 2+ -CaM, which is also a regulatory subunit of adenylyl cyclase and phosphodiesterase in the cAMP signal pathway. Source: Internet
In peripheral cells and tissues adenylyl cyclases appear to form molecular complexes with specific receptors and other signaling proteins in an isoform-specific manner. Source: Internet
