How Are Camp Levels Regulated?

by

How Are Camp Levels Regulated? cAMP is a cyclic nucleotide that serves as a vital second messenger in several signaling pathways. The intracellular levels of cAMP are regulated by the balance between the activities of two enzymes: adenylyl cyclase (AC) and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE). What is cAMP regulated by? Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is

Can Amp Turn Back Into Camp?

by

Can Amp Turn Back Into Camp? cAMP is a nucleotide synthesised within the cell from ATP by the action of a membrane-bound enzyme, adenylyl cyclase. It is produced continuously and inactivated by hydrolysis to 5′-AMP by the action of a family of enzymes known as phosphodiesterases (PDEs). How is ATP converted to cyclic AMP? The
