Question: When adenylate cyclase is activated via G-Protein, an __________ is broken down to produce 3’, 5’ cAMP.
A. AMP
B. ADP
C. ATP
D. All the above.
Answer : ATP
cAMP or cyclic adenosine monophosphate is catalyzed from ATP or adenosine triphosphate. cAMP is a second messenger and it is generally used in transduction of intracellular signals.
The ATP catalyzes by the adenylate cyclase and gives rise to cAMP. The adenylate cyclase is found in the inner side of the plasma membrane. The adenylate cyclase gets activated by a series of proteins known as adenylate cyclase stimulatory G proteins. Also adenylate cyclase inhibitory G proteins inhibits the activity of adenylate cyclase.
