“…sAC, a non-membrane bound protein, is found within the cytosol and in several microdomains located inside organelles. ,, In biological systems, CO 2 is maintained in a pH-dependent equilibrium with bicarbonate (HCO 3 – ), and as a result, sAC acts as the nature’s physiological CO 2 /HCO 3 – /pH sensor. , cAMP, produced by sAC in response to changes in CO 2 /HCO 3 – /pH, has been linked to multiple biological functions, such as insulin release from pancreatic β-cells, lysosomal acidification, and regulation of intraocular eye pressure, , in addition to controlling the motility and capacitation of sperm . In regulating these biological functions, sAC is a promising drug target, with sAC inhibitors having several potential therapeutic applications. − This group has recently disclosed results describing biological application of a potent sAC inhibitor. − …”
