ADCY4

Adenylate cyclase type 4 is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ADCY4 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a member of the family of is_associated_with::adenylate cyclases, which are membrane-associated enzymes that catalyze the formation of the secondary messenger is_associated_with::cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). Mouse studies show that adenylate cyclase 4, along with adenylate cyclases 2 and 3, is expressed in olfactory cilia, suggesting that several different adenylate cyclases may couple to is_associated_with::olfactory receptors and that there may be multiple receptor-mediated mechanisms for the generation of cAMP signals.
