Adcy1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables adenylate cyclase activity. Involved in several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; neuroinflammatory response; and positive regulation of CREB transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within axonogenesis and long-term memory. Located in cytoplasm and postsynaptic density. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 44. Orthologous to human ADCY1 (adenylate cyclase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Adcy1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
