Detailed explanation-1: -Epinephrine binds its receptor, that associates with a heterotrimeric G protein. The G protein associates with adenylyl cyclase, which converts ATP to cAMP, spreading the signal.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adenylyl cyclase (ADCY, EC number 4.6. 1.1), also known as adenylate cyclase, is an enzyme which catalyzes the cyclization of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) which requires the cleavage of pyrophosphate (PPi).
Detailed explanation-3: -Adenylate cyclase (AC), or adenylyl cyclase, is the enzyme that changes ATP into cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. Adenylyl cyclases (ACs) are proteins that catalyze the reaction producing cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) from adenosine triphosphate (ATP). There are 10 isoforms of ACs expressed in humans, 9 of which are membrane-bound proteins.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
