Definition of cyclic AMP in English: cyclic AMPnoun mass nounBiochemistry A cyclic form of adenosine monophosphate (adenylic acid) which plays a major role in controlling many enzyme-catalysed processes in living cells. Example sentencesExamples - In the 1970s everything in physiology and medicine was explained by cyclic AMP levels going up or down in cells.
- The exact mechanism whereby ISM increases platelet cAMP appears to be that of inhibition of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase.
- Diurnal changes in the plasma levels of cortisol, epinephrine, cyclic AMP and histamine are thought to be the cause of this exacerbation.
- By inhibition of certain enzymes, it allows an increase in the concentration of the ‘second messenger’, cyclic AMP, within cells, enhancing in turn the systems which this activates.
- The product of adenyl cyclase is cyclic AMP, which quickly degrades in postmortem brain so it cannot be measured.
