Membranes prepared from the olfactory mucosa of the rat show a high level of adenylate cyclase activity. The activity increases up to 2-fold in the presence of physiologically relevant concentrations of odorants and is inhibited by Ca2+. The level of cyclase activity found is sufficient to explain the speed of olfactory transduction, which occurs on a time scale of tens of milliseconds.
从大鼠嗅黏膜制备的膜显示出高水平的腺苷酸环化酶活性。在生理相关浓度的气味剂存在下,该活性增加至2倍,并受到Ca2+的抑制。所发现的环化酶活性水平足以解释嗅觉转导的速度,嗅觉转导发生在几十毫秒的时间尺度上。
