Biology

Both adenylyl cyclases and phospholipase C have multiplesubtypes and isoforms. Many of these isotypes have tissue-specificactivities that may be either activated or inhibited by the sameregulatory molecules.

  1. How does a genome gain a new isotype and at the same timeretain the other isotypes?
  2. What is the advantage of having multiple signaling pathwaysoperate through a single signaling complex like adenylylcyclase?
