Anti-Adenylate Cyclase 5 Antibody, clone 19D5.C1 clone 19D5.C1, from mouse

Adenylate cyclase type 5 (P84309; also known as EC: 4.6.1.1, ATP pyrophosphate-lyase 5, Adenylate cyclase type V, Adenylyl cyclase 5, AC5) is encoded by the Adcy5 gene (Gene ID: 224129) in murine species. Adenylate cyclase catalyzes the formation of cyclic AMP in response to G-protein signaling. It regulates the increase of free cytosolic calcium in response to increased blood glucose levels and contributes to the regulation of calcium-dependent insulin secretion. Adenylyl cyclases are typically made up of two clusters of six transmembrane domains separating two intracellular, overlapping catalytic domains. The amino acid sequence of each cytoplasmic domain that contains the nucleotide (ATP)-binding site, is well conserved among various subtypes. Thus far 9 different hormone-sensitive, membrane-bound AC isoforms have been identified. Adenylyl Cyclase 5 deficiency is shown to protect against diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance in mice and extends their life span. Adenylate cyclase 5 knockout mice display signs of reduced stress and protection against the stress of chronic pressure overload on heart. Adenylate cyclase 5 activity is stimulated by forskolin and is inhibited by adenosine and ATP analogs. (Ref.: Ho, D., et al. (2015). Diabetes. 64(7); 2636-2645. Vatner, SF., et al. (2015). Oxid. Med.
