Example sentences for: adenylate
How can you use “adenylate” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
These include: a Hh-protein-blocking antibody, 5E1 [ 23 ] ; a natural product derivative, cyclopamine [ 9 10 ] that has recently been shown to act downstream of Ptc, perhaps at the level of Smo [ 11 ] ; a recently identified synthetic small-molecule inhibitor, Cur61414, which has inhibitory properties similar to cyclopamine [ 17 ] ; and forskolin, an adenylate cyclase/protein kinase A activator that is thought to block Hh signaling by stimulating degradation of members of the Gli family of transcriptional activators [ 2 ] .
cAMP is an important signaling molecule that can be found in specific cellular domains [ 53 ] . Levels are controlled through synthesis via adenylate cyclase, and degradation via phosphodiesterases (PDEs).
3shows that the signal, which regulates the expression of human CD8, is cAMP-mediated, since direct activation of adenylate cyclase by cholera toxin produced the same effects as the di-butiryl cAMP analog.
On the other hand, it has been previously demonstrated that direct activation of adenylate cyclase by Forskolin or cholera toxin, inhibition of cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase, and treatment with a cell permeable cAMP analog, induces a rise in intracellular cAMP [ 22 23 24 25 26 ] . Since cAMP is known to modulate the expression of CD8 in mice [ 27 ] , we sought to determine whether cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA)-mediated signaling plays a role in modulating the mRNA levels of CD3, CD4, and CD8 in ex vivo examined human thymocytes.
These inhibitory actions of 4-AP on adenylate cyclase activity, StAR expression and steroidogenesis may reflect drug-induced changes in the intracellular concentrations of K +and Cl -and the GC resting membrane potential.
