ADCY6

Adenylate cyclase type 6 is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADCY6 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes adenylate cyclase 6, which is a membrane-associated enzyme and catalyzes the formation of the secondary messenger is_associated_with::cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). The expression of this gene is found in normal thyroid and brain tissues, as well as some tumors; and its expression is significantly higher in one hyperfunctioning thyroid tumor than in normal thyroid tissue. Alternative splicing generates 2 transcript variants.
