Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A common second messenger that is derived from ATP
A
Cyclic AMP (cAMP)
B
ADP + P
C
ATP Synthase
D
Phosphatase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -3′-5′-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is another cyclic nucleotide that serves as a second messenger.

Detailed explanation-2: -Option B: cAMP: Cyclic AMP is formed from ATP by the action of enzyme. Changing the molecular activities in the cytosol, uses PKC (protein kinase A). It is a second messenger.

Detailed explanation-3: -Calcium. The calcium ion (Ca2+) is perhaps the most common intracellular messenger in neurons. Indeed, few neuronal functions are immune to the influence-direct or indirect-of Ca2+.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is a second messenger used for intracellular signal induction. It is synthesized from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by enzymes (g-proteins) that are attached to metabotropic receptors and become released when the receptor is activated.

Detailed explanation-5: -Adenosine 3′, 5′-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) is a nucleotide that acts as a key second messenger in numerous signal transduction pathways. cAMP regulates various cellular functions, including cell growth and differentiation, gene transcription and protein expression.
