Abstract
Pancreatic islets contain calmodulin. The protein binds to a particulate fraction derived from the islets and stimulates adenylate cyclase activity in this subcellular fraction, both phenomena being activated by ionized calcium. A calcium-dependent stimulation of adenylate cyclase by endogenous calmodulin may contribute to the accumulation of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate evoked by insulin releasing agents in the islet cells.Entities:
