    The membrane domains of mammalian adenylyl cyclases are lipid receptors

    Marius Landau, Sherif Elsabbagh ... Joachim E Schultz
    The dodecahelical membrane anchors of mammalian adenylyl cyclase isoforms are receptors for unsaturated free fatty acids and, as a tonic signal, enhance or attenuate GPCR/Gsα-stimulated cyclic AMP formation.
