Adcy6 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables calcium- and calmodulin-responsive adenylate cyclase activity and scaffold protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cAMP biosynthetic process; cellular response to forskolin; and cellular response to vasopressin. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lethal congenital contracture syndrome. Orthologous to human ADCY6 (adenylate cyclase 6). [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 Adcy6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
