Adenylate cyclase of human gastric mucosa. Stimulation by prostaglandins

B Simon et al. Res Exp Med (Berl). .

Abstract

It has been shown that human gastric mucosa contains a prostaglandin-sensitive adenylate cyclase system. Of the prostaglandins tested the E-type induced an about 3--3.5-fold increase of enzyme activity. The prostaglandin A2 by causing an about 2.5-fold enhancement of cAMP formation and the F-prostaglandins (1.4--2.0-fold stimulation) were less effective in activating the enzyme system. Maximally effective concentrations of histamine and prostaglandin E2 were additive with respect to enzyme activity indicating that both hormones act via individual adenylate cyclases.
