| Human Protein Atlas | ADCY5 |
| G protein regulation | Activated by Gαs/Gαolf subunits; inhibited by Gαi/o subunits |
| Forskolin sensitivity | AC5 is highly responsive to forskolin, a plant diterpene that directly activates adenylate cyclases |
| Calmodulin binding | AC5 is unique among adenylate cyclases in being inhibited by calmodulin in a calcium-dependent manner |
