ADENOSINE MONOPHOSPHATE
| Pronunciation (US): |  | (GB): | |
I. (noun)
Sense 1
Meaning:
A nucleotide found in muscle cells and important in metabolism; reversibly convertible to ADP and ATP
Synonyms:
adenosine monophosphate; adenylic acid; AMP
Classified under:
Hypernyms ("adenosine monophosphate" is a kind of...):
base; nucleotide (a phosphoric ester of a nucleoside; the basic structural unit of nucleic acids (DNA or RNA))
Context examples:
Levalbuterol selectively binds to beta-2 adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, thereby activating intracellular adenyl cyclase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).
(Levalbuterol Tartrate, NCI Thesaurus)
Levalbuterol hydrochloride binds to beta-2 adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle and activates intracellular adenyl cyclase, thereby increasing the production of cyclic-3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).
(Levalbuterol Hydrochloride, NCI Thesaurus)
Formoterol selectively binds to beta-2 adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle, thereby activating intracellular adenyl cyclase, an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).
(Formoterol, NCI Thesaurus)
Formoterol fumarate binds beta 2 adrenergic receptors in bronchial smooth muscle and stimulates intracellular adenyl cyclase, thereby increasing the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).
(Formoterol Fumarate, NCI Thesaurus)
Albuterol stimulates beta2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs, thereby activating the enzyme adenylate cyclase that catalyzes the conversion of ATP to cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).
(Albuterol Sulfate, NCI Thesaurus)
Although the exact mechanism of action of is unknown, cilostazol and its metabolites appears to inhibit PDE III activity, thereby suppressing cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) degradation.
(Cilostazol, NCI Thesaurus)
Fenoterol stimulates beta-2-adrenergic receptors in the lungs, thereby activating the enzyme adenylate cyclase that catalyzes the conversion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).
(Fenoterol, NCI Thesaurus)
It has been suggested that PGE2 regulates the intracellular levels of cyclic 3, 5-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) by activating adenylate cyclase and thereby increases cellular membrane calcium ion transport.
(Dinoprostone, NCI Thesaurus)
Dipyridamole inhibits adenosine uptake by platelets and endothelial cells, triggering an accumulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and inhibiting the stimulation of platelet aggregation by agents such as platelet activating factor and collagen.
(Dipyridamole, NCI Thesaurus)
Following cellular uptake, acadesine is phosphorylated to AICA ribotide (ZMP), which mimics 5'-adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
(Acadesine, NCI Thesaurus)
