Abstract excerpt
Adenylyl cyclase type 5 (AC5) is sensitive to both high and low affinity inhibition by Ca(2+). This property provides a sensitive feedback mechanism of the Ca(2+) entry that is potentiated by cAMP in sources where AC5 is commonly expressed (e.g. myocardium). Remarkably little is known about the molecular mechanism whereby Ca(2+) inhibits AC5. Because previous studies had showed that Ca(2+) antagonized the...
