1969Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. LXIV. 113 The depolarizing effect of norepinephrine is interpreted as being at least partially associated with biochemical events terminating in the activation of adenylate cyclase. 1989B. Alberts et al. Molecular Biol. Cell (ed. 2) xii. 696 At least four hormones activate adenylate cyclase in fat cells, and all of them stimulate the breakdown of triglyceride (the storage form of fat) to fatty acids. |
