Effect of Adenylyl Cyclase Type 6 on Localized Production of cAMP by β-2 Adrenoceptors in Human Airway Smooth-Muscle Cells

β2-Adrenoceptors (β2ARs) are concentrated in caveolar lipid raft domains of the plasma membrane in airway smooth-muscle (ASM) cells, along with adenylyl cyclase type 6 (AC6). This is believed to contribute to how these receptors can selectively regulate certain types of cAMP-dependent responses i…
