ADCY5

adenylate cyclase 5

This gene encodes a member of the membrane-bound adenylyl cyclase enzymes. Adenylyl cyclases mediate G protein-coupled receptor signaling through the synthesis of the second messenger cAMP. Activity of the encoded protein is stimulated by the Gs alpha subunit of G protein-coupled receptors and is inhibited by protein kinase A, calcium and Gi alpha subunits. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with low birth weight and type 2 diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different isoforms have been observed for this gene.

AD Risk Scores

About AD Risk Scores

The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has developed a Target Risk Score (TRS) to objectively rank the potential involvement of specific genes in AD. The TRS is derived by summing two component risk scores, the Genetic Risk Score and the Multi-omic Risk Score, each of which is derived from a meta-analysis of multiple harmonized data sets. More information about the methodology used to define these risk scores is available here.

AD Risk Scores for ADCY5

The TRS for ADCY5, along with the component Genetic and Multi-omic Risk Scores, is shown here. The scores for ADCY5 are superimposed on the genome-wide score distributions. If No Data is Currently Available is displayed for a score, that score was not calculated for ADCY5.

Biological Domain Classification

About Biological Domains

A biological domain represents a standardized area of biology defined by a set of discrete, biologically coherent GO terms. The TREAT-AD Center at Emory-Sage-SGC has defined nineteen biological domains associated with AD, and objectively mapped genes to those biological domains using GO term annotations. More information about the methodology used to define AD biological domains, and to generate genome-wide biological domain mappings, is available here.

Biological Domains for ADCY5

Select a biological domain on the left to see the list of GO terms that link ADCY5 to it on the right. The percentage value displayed next to the currently selected biological domain indicates the proportion of ADCY5's total unique GO terms that map to the biological domain. The ratio displayed on the right indicates how many of the biological domain's total GO terms ADCY5 is annotated with.
