Adenylyl cyclase is membrane bound enzyme that A) can be activated by more than one type of receptor B) is activated by binding directly to a receptor C) degrades cAMP to produce AMP D) is activated by G_i

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adenylyl cyclase can be activated by multiple types of receptors, including G protein-coupled receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases. It is not directly activated by binding to a receptor, and it does not degrade cAMP to produce AMP. The activation of adenylyl cyclase involves the binding of a G protein, such as GS alpha, which binds to the enzyme and stimulates the production of cAMP.
