Abstract: | contains in high concentration the enzymes for the synthesis and degradation of cyclic AMP. The synthetic enzyme, adenyl cyclase is mainly associated with a particulate fraction which sediments at 7,000–30,000xg whereas the degradative enzyme, 3′5′ nucleotide phosphodiesterase, is soluble (does not sediment at 78,000xg). The adenyl cyclase activity is stimulated somewhat by prostaglandins and by catecholamines, agents which markedly stimulate cyclase in appropriate mammalian tissues. There is no detectable activity of guanyl cyclase, the enzyme which synthesizes cyclic GMP. also contains a cyclic AMP stimulated protein kinase which is associated with a particulate fraction sedimenting at 30,000xg. |
