Adcy2 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables several functions, including G-protein beta/gamma-subunit complex binding activity; adenylate cyclase binding activity; and metal ion binding activity. Involved in adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; cAMP biosynthetic process; and cellular response to forskolin. Located in membrane raft and plasma membrane. Part of protein-containing complex. Orthologous to human ADCY2 (adenylate cyclase 2). [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 rat Adcy2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
