Characterization of the yeast BMH1 gene encoding a putative protein homologous to mammalian protein kinase II activators and protein kinase C inhibitors.

abstract：:LLC-PK1L cells, a kidney-derived cell line grown in defined medium, possess a vasopressin-sensitive adenylate cyclase. Somatostatin was able to inhibit the vasopressin-induced increase in adenylate cyclase activity, without affecting the basal enzyme activity. This inhibition was competitive. No effect of somatostatin...
