The purpose of this study was to examine activity of adenylate cyclase (AC) and its cAMP-dependent phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in the membrane of rabbit myometrium. Isoproterenol (IP) significantly increased AC activity of nonpregnant rabbits myometrium plasma membranes. However, during pregnancy AC of myometrium plasma membranes did not respond to IP. Phosphorylation of the myometrium membrane by PKA was followed by significantly decreased response of AC to IP.

D017868	Cyclic AMP-Dependent Protein Kinases	A group of enzymes that are dependent on CYCLIC AMP and catalyze the phosphorylation of SERINE or THREONINE residues on proteins. Included under this category are two cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase subtypes, each of which is defined by its subunit composition.
