{{Main|Cyclic AMP}}
AMP can also exist as a cyclic structure known as [[cyclic adenosine monophosphate|cyclic AMP]] (or cAMP). Within certain cells the enzyme [[adenylate cyclase]] makes cAMP from ATP, and typically this reaction is regulated by hormones such as [[adrenaline]] or [[glucagon]]. cAMP plays an important role in intracellular signaling.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Metabolic Control|volume=233|last1=Ravnskjaer|first1=Kim|last2=Madiraju|first2=Anila|last3=Montminy|first3=Marc | name-list-style = vanc |date=2015|publisher=Springer, Cham|isbn=9783319298047|series=Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology|pages=29–49|doi=10.1007/164_2015_32|pmid = 26721678}}</ref> In skeletal muscle, cyclic AMP, triggered by adrenaline, starts a cascade ([[cAMP-dependent pathway]]) for the conversion of myophosphorylase-b into the phosphorylated form of [[Myophosphorylase|myophoshorylase]]-a for glycogenolysis.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Coffee |first=Carole J. |title=Quick Look Medicine: Metabolism |publisher=Hayes Barton Press |year=1999 |isbn=1-59377-192-4}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-01-01 |title=15.3: Glycogenolyis and its Regulation by Glucagon and Epinephrine Signaling |url=https://bio.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Biochemistry/Fundamentals_of_Biochemistry_(Jakubowski_and_Flatt)/02%3A_Unit_II-_Bioenergetics_and_Metabolism/15%3A_Glucose_Glycogen_and_Their_Metabolic_Regulation/15.03%3A_15.3_Glycogenolyis_and_its_Regulation_by_Glucagon_and_Epinephrine_Signaling |access-date=2023-10-10 |website=Biology LibreTexts |language=en}}</ref>
