Adenylyl cyclase catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cyclic AMP (cAMP) by removing pyrophosphate. This process is important in signal transduction pathways in cells, where cAMP acts as a second messenger to regulate various cellular functions.

What catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cAMP?

Adenylate cyclase is the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate). It does this by removing two phosphate groups from ATP, resulting in the production of cAMP.


When adenylate cyclase is activated?

"When adenylyl cyclase is activated, it catalyses the conversion of ATP to cyclic AMP, which leads to an increase in intracellular levels of cyclic AMP. Cyclic AMP functions as a "http://wiki.answers.com/../pathphys/endocrine/moaction/surface.html" to relay extracellular signals to intracellular effectors, particularly http://wiki.answers.com/pka.html.

What is the action of cAMP in the function of hormones?

Each hormone is a signal for the cell, that a specific chemical reaction must be done. As the molecules of hormones attach to cell receptors, adenylyl cyclase (transmembrane protein) is activated. Activated Adenylyl cyclase modifies ATP to form cyclic adenine monophosphate (cAMP). cAMP then activates various enzymes that catalyse the necessary reaction. Therefore, cAMP is an intermedium between the hormone and the result (chemical reaction).

What is the correct order of events for hormones activating Gs proteins?

Hormone binds to G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). GPCR undergoes a conformational change and activates the Gs protein. Gs protein activates adenylyl cyclase, leading to the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP). cAMP activates protein kinase A (PKA), initiating a cellular response.
