Abstract

Soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC) is the evolutionarily most ancient of a set of 10 adenylyl cyclases (Adcys). While Adcy1 to Adcy9 are cAMP-producing enzymes that are activated by G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), Adcy10 (sAC) is an intracellular adenylyl cyclase. sAC plays a pivotal role in numerous cellular processes, ranging from basic physiological functions to complex signaling cascades. As a distinct member of the adenylyl cyclase family, sAC is not activated by GPCRs and stands apart due to its unique characteristics, regulation, and localization within cells. This minireview aims to honour Ulli Brandt, the outgoing Executive Editor of our journal, Biochimica Biophysica Acta (BBA), and longstanding Executive Editor of the BBA section Bioenergetics. We will therefore focus this review on bioenergetic aspects of sAC and, in addition, review some important recent general developments in the field of research on sAC.
