[Adenylate cyclase complex, lipids and the regulation of the hormonal sensitivity of tumor tissue]

Abstract

This review consists of the following parts: plasma membranes of cells in normal and cancer tissue; adenylate cyclase complex (ACC) and tumour development; ACC regulation and phase state of lipids in the membranes of tumour cells; interrelations of ACC with the other signal-receiving systems of normal and tumour cells; the role of ACC in providing, changing and analyzing the hormone sensitivity of tumour tissue, regulation of the hormone sensitivity of tumour tissue by means of influences on ACC.
