Description
Product Characteristics:
Membrane-bound, calcium-inhibitable adenylyl cyclase.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: AC6, LCCS8, Adenylate cyclase type 6, ATP pyrophosphate-lyase 6, Adenylate cyclase type VI, Adenylyl cyclase 6, Ca(2+)-inhibitable adenylyl cyclase, ADCY6, KIAA0422
Target Information: This gene encodes adenylate cyclase 6, which is a membrane-associated enzyme and catalyzes the formation of the secondary messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). The expression of this gene is found in normal thyroid and brain tissues, as well as some tumors\, and its expression is significantly higher in one hyperfunctioning thyroid tumor than in normal thyroid tissue. Alternative splicing generates 2 transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
