Regulatory Properties of Mammalian Adenylyl Cyclase Isoforms
AC Isoforma,b | Chromosomal Location | Tissue Distribution | Regulation by G Protein Subunits | Protein Kinases | Calcium Effects | Putative Function |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
BAT, brown adipose tissue; LTP, long-term potentiation. | ||||||
a All isoforms except sAC are inhibited by P-site inhibitors. | ||||||
b Forskolin stimulates human AC1-AC8, whereas AC9 is weakly stimulated by forskolin. sAC is not affected by forskolin. | ||||||
c Cited reference numbers. | ||||||
d Gβγ stimulation of AC isoforms is conditional upon Gαs co-activation. | ||||||
e Inhibition determined by transfection only and could be an indirect Gβγ effect. | ||||||
f Denotes Gαi family members Gαi1, Gαi2, Gαi3, and Gαz. | ||||||
g Inhibited by calcineurin. | ||||||
h Stimulated by bicarbonate. | ||||||
