This gene encodes a member of the of adenylate cyclase gene family that is primarily expressed in the brain. This protein is regulated by calcium/calmodulin concentration and may be involved in brain development. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013],

Function:
Catalytic activity:ATP = 3',5'-cyclic AMP + diphosphate.,cofactor:Binds 2 magnesium ions per subunit.,enzyme regulation:Activated by calcium/calmodulin. Inhibited by the G protein beta and gamma subunit complex.,Function:This is a calmodulin-sensitive adenylyl cyclase. May be involved in regulatory processes in the central nervous system. It may play a role in memory acquisition and learning.,similarity:Belongs to the adenylyl cyclase class-4/guanylyl cyclase family.,similarity:Contains 2 guanylate cyclase domains.,tissue specificity:Brain, retina and adrenal medulla.,
