| UniProt code: Q96PN6. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the formation of the signaling molecule cAMP (PubMed:12609998, PubMed:15659711, PubMed:24616449, PubMed:25040695, PubMed:24567411). May function as sensor that mediates responses to changes in cellular bicarbonate and CO(2) levels (PubMed:15659711, PubMed:17591988). Has a critical role in mammalian spermatogenesis by producing the cAMP which regulates cAMP-responsive nuclear factors indispensable for sperm maturation in the epididymis. Induces capacitation, the maturational process that sperm undergo prior to fertilization (By similarity). Involved in ciliary beat regulation (PubMed:17591988). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8C0T9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659711, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17591988, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24567411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616449, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25040695}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=ATP = 3',5'-cyclic AMP + diphosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15389, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:58165; EC=4.6.1.1; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12609998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659711, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24567411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616449, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25040695}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12609998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659711, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24567411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25040695, ECO:0000305|PubMed:24616449}; Name=Mn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29035; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12609998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659711, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616449}; Note=Binds 2 magnesium ions per subunit (PubMed:25040695). Is also active with manganese (in vitro) (PubMed:12609998, PubMed:15659711, PubMed:24616449). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12609998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659711, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616449, ECO:0000305|PubMed:25040695}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Activated by manganese or magnesium ions (PubMed:12609998, PubMed:24616449). In the presence of magnesium ions, the enzyme is activated by bicarbonate (PubMed:12609998, PubMed:15659711, PubMed:24567411). In the presence of manganese ions, the enzyme is inhibited by bicarbonate (PubMed:15659711). In the absence of magnesium and bicarbonate, the enzyme is weakly activated by calcium (PubMed:15659711). Calcium mildly increases the enzyme activity, also in the presence of magnesium ions (PubMed:15659711, PubMed:25040695). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12609998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659711, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24567411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616449, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25040695}. | |

Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12475901}. Note=Distributed to subcellular compartments containing cAMP targets.

Very low level of expression in bone. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11932268, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15659711, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17591988}. | |
| Domain: | The N-terminal guanylate cyclase domains are required for enzyme activity. Fragments or isoforms containing the first 470 amino acid residues are fully active. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24567411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616449, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25040695}. | |
| Ptm: | Cleavage may occur to generate the active 48 kDa form. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Disease: | Hypercalciuria absorptive 2 (HCA2) [MIM:143870]: A common type of hypercalciuria, a condition characterized by excessive urinary calcium excretion. Absorptive hypercalciuria is due to gastrointestinal hyperabsorption of calcium and is a frequent cause of calcium oxalate nephrolithiasis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11932268}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the adenylyl cyclase class-4/guanylyl cyclase family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00099}. | |
