Human Adenylate Cyclase 2, Brain (ADCY2) CLIA Kit

Background

ADCY2 is a transmembrane enzyme expressed widely in the central nervous system and cardiac tissues. It is activated by Gαs proteins and regulated by forskolin and calcium signaling. ADCY2 plays a central role in converting ATP to cAMP, which mediates various cellular responses, including neurotransmission, hormone signaling, and metabolism. It is particularly important in modulating synaptic communication and neuronal excitability. Mutations or alterations in ADCY2 expression have been associated with mood disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, highlighting its significance in brain function.
