    basic FUNCTION
  • adenylyl cyclase, type VI, catalyzing the formation of the secondary messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)
  • critical regulator of metabolic and cardiovascular function
  • essential and so far unknown role of ADCY6 in PNS myelination likely through the cAMP pathway
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism purine/pyrimidine
    signaling signal transduction
    a component
  • ADCY5 and ADCY6 interact with-A-kinase anchoring frotein AKAP5 in a complex which associates with PRKA
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • stimulated byG protein betagamma
  • ADCY6 was physically associated with PHLPP2, which prevents PHLPP2-mediated AKT1 dephosphorylation
  • interacting with SNAPIN (interaction domains of ADCY6 and snapin were located within amino acids 1 to 86 of ADCY6 approximately and 33-51 of SNAPIN)
  • ADCY6, an enzyme which catalyzes cAMP synthesis, regulates neurite outgrowth by direct interaction with a binding protein (SNAPIN) of SNAP25 at the N terminus of ADCY6 (AC6-N)
  • the overexpression of SNAP25 completely reversed the action of ADCY6
  • repression of ADCY6 by BICC1 might explain why cysts in ADPKD patients preferentially arise from distal tubules
