Biological significance of atp and cyclic amp are:
- ATP: ATP is the energy currency of the body i.e. energy is in the form of ATP in our body.
- Cyclic amp: Cyclic amp is a second messenger (related to the mechanism of action of hormones).
How is ATP related to cyclic AMP?
- Cyclic AMP is synthesized from ATP by adenylate cyclase located on the inner side of the plasma membrane and anchored at various locations in the interior of the cell.
How does ATP convert to cAMP?
- A conformational change is induced to the receptor causing the alpha subunit of trimeric G-protein to release GDP and bind GTP.
- The activated alpha subunit dissociates from the beta and gamma subunits of the G-protein.
- The alpha subunit with GTP binds to Adenylyl cyclase. This converts ATP to cyclic AMP (cAMP).
