Structural highlights

Disease

ADCYA_HUMAN Idiopathic hypercalciuria. Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function

ADCYA_HUMAN Soluble adenylyl cyclase that has a critical role in mammalian spermatogenesis. Produces the cAMP which mediates in part the cAMP-responsive nuclear factors indispensable for maturation of sperm in the epididymis. Induces capacitation, the maturational process that sperm undergo prior to fertilization. May be the bicarbonate sensor. Involved in ciliary beat regulation.^{[1] [2]}
