What is the function of this protein?
Catalyzes the formation of cAMP in response to calcium entry leadings to cAMP signaling activation that affect processes suche as synaptic plasticity and insulin secretion (PubMed:8163524, PubMed:24086669, PubMed:22494970, PubMed:21046358, PubMed:13680124, PubMed:25381556).  Plays a role in many brain functions, such as learning, memory, drug addiction, and anxiety modulation through regulation of synaptic plasticity by modulating long-term memory and long-term potentiation (LTP) through CREB transcription factor activity modulation (PubMed:8163524).  Plays a central role in insulin secretion by controlling glucose homeostasis through glucagon-like peptide 1 and glucose signaling pathway and maintains insulin secretion through calcium-dependent PKA activation leading to vesicle pool replenishment (PubMed:21046358, PubMed:13680124, PubMed:25381556).  Also, allows PTGER3 to induce potentiation of PTGER4-mediated PLA2 secretion by switching from a negative to a positive regulation, during the IL1B induced-dedifferentiation of smooth muscle cells (PubMed:16741924).
What are the official names of this protein?
Adenylate cyclase type 8, ATP pyrophosphate-lyase 8, Adenylate cyclase type VIII, Adenylyl cyclase 8, Ca(2+)/calmodulin-activated adenylyl cyclase.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the adenylyl cyclase class-4/guanylyl cyclase family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell projection, dendrite. Membrane raft. Membrane, coated pit. Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle membrane. Membrane, caveola. Basolateral cell membrane. Apical cell membrane. Synapse. Cell projection, dendrite. Cell projection, axon. Presynaptic cell membrane. Postsynaptic density. Note=Localized to dendritic arbors (By similarity). Monomeric N-glycosylated specieslocalized in membrane raft. In contrast, monomeric unglycosylated forms are enriched in clathrin-coated pits and vesicles. Dimers are also localized outside of membrane rafts. Membrane raft localization and integrity is indispensable for CCE-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity (PubMed:19158400).
