Human ADCY1(Adenylate cyclase type 1) ELISA Kit

Background

ADCY1 is a membrane-bound enzyme predominantly expressed in the brain, specifically in neuronal tissues. It is activated by G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and regulated by calcium/calmodulin, playing a vital role in generating cyclic AMP (cAMP), a second messenger critical for signal transduction. ADCY1 is essential for synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory processes. Dysregulation of ADCY1 has been linked to neurological disorders, such as cognitive impairments and epilepsy, due to impaired cAMP signaling pathways. Its expression and activity are crucial for calcium-dependent cAMP production in neurons.
