Detailed explanation-1: -Adenylyl cyclase can be activated directly by forskolin, a plant diterpene which has been useful in studies of enzyme regulation and purification. The substrate for adenylyl cyclase is a complex of Mg2+ and ATP.
Detailed explanation-2: -G Proteins Gs proteins consist of a heterotrimer of three polypeptides where one, the chain (Gs), binds and hydrolyses GTP and activates adenylate cyclase.
Detailed explanation-3: -The G protein activates an enzyme called adenylyl cyclase. When activated, adenylyl cyclase converts a large number of ATP molecules into signaling molecules, called cyclic AMP (cAMP).
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
