Adenyl Cyclase is a type of Intracellular, endogenous Lyase Enzyme.

 

Biological Function of Adenyl Cyclase

Cells

 Adenyl Cyclase is involved in the production of cellular Energy:

 Adenyl Cyclase catalyzes the conversion of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic AMP (cAMP) and Pyrophosphate within Cells.  [1]

 

These Substances may Enhance the Function of Adenyl Cyclase

Hormones

 Pregnenolone activates Adenyl Cyclase.  [2]

 

Lipids

 Forskolin stimulates Adenyl Cyclase activity.  [3]

 Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) stimulates the activity of Adenyl Cyclase.  [4]

 

Minerals

 Magnesium is a cofactor for Adenyl Cyclase.

 Manganese is an essential cofactor for the activity of Adenyl Cyclase.  [5]

 

Organic Acids

 Pyruvic Acid is a cofactor for Adenyl Cyclase.

 

These Herbs may Enhance the Function of Adenyl Cyclase

 Coleus (Coleus forskholii) may stimulate Adenyl Cyclase activity (due to its Forskolin content).  [6]

 

These Substances may Interfere with Adenyl Cyclase

Lipids

 Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) may inhibit the activity of Adenyl Cyclase.  [7]
