Anti-ADCY1

This gene encodes a form of adenylate cyclase expressed in brain. A similar protein in mouse is involved in pattern formation of the brain. Protein function: Catalyzes the formation of the signaling molecule cAMP in response to G-protein signaling. Mediates responses to increased cellular Ca(2+)/calmodulin levels. May be involved in regulatory processes in the central nervous system. May play a role in memory and learning. Plays a role in the regulation of the circadian rhythm of daytime contrast sensitivity probably by modulating the rhythmic synthesis of cyclic AMP in the retina. [The UniProt Consortium]
