By mutating the gene called "dunce" which produces this compound, a learning deficit has been observed in experiments with marine snails and in Drosophila melanogaster.
By mutating the gene called "dunce" which produces this compound, a learning deficit has been observed in experiments with marine snails and in Drosophila melanogaster.It is broken down in the cell after its purpose is served by the enzyme phosphodiesterase. Its other roles include the breakdown of glycogen into glucose and lipolysis, and to regulate the passage of calcium through ion channels. Synthesized by adenylate cyclase, this is, FTP, what compound which activates protein kinases, a secondary messenger molecule derived from ATP.
