adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate

adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate
An activator of phosphorylase kinase and an effector of other enzymes, formed in muscle from ATP by adenylate cyclase and broken down to 5′-AMP by a phosphodiesterase; the first compound referred to as a “second messenger.” It is a metabolic regulator. A related compound (2′,3′) is also known. SYN: cyclic adenylic acid, cyclic AMP, cyclic phosphate.
