Description
Product Characteristics:
This is a calmodulin-sensitive adenylyl cyclase. May be involved in regulatory processes in the central nervous system. It may play a role in memory acquisition and learning. Plays a role in the regulation of the circadian rhythm of daytime contrast sensitivity probably by modulating the rhythmic synthesis of cyclic AMP in the retina (By similarity).
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: AC1, DFNB44, Adenylate cyclase type 1, ATP pyrophosphate-lyase 1, Adenylate cyclase type I, Adenylyl cyclase 1, Ca(2+)/calmodulin-activated adenylyl cyclase, ADCY1
Target Information: This gene encodes a form of adenylate cyclase expressed in brain. A similar protein in mouse is involved in pattern formation of the brain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
