Bicarbonate-sensitive soluble and transmembrane adenylyl cyclases in peripheral chemoreceptors

Stimulation of the carotid body (CB) chemoreceptors by hypercapnia triggers a reflex
ventilatory response via a cascade of cellular events, which includes generation of cAMP.
However, it is not known if molecular CO 2/HCO 3− and/or H+ mediate this effect and how
these molecules contribute to cAMP production. We previously reported that the CB highly
expresses HCO 3−-sensitive soluble adenylyl cyclase (sAC). In the present study we
systematically characterize the role of sAC in the CB, comparing the effect of isohydric …
