What happens when catecholamines bind to the alpha receptors? Correct Answer Inhibits adenylyl cyclase

Catecholamines suppress adenyl cyclase when bound to alpha-receptors, thereby decreasing the level of intracellular c-AMP. The action of the alpha-receptor is mediated by decreasing the amount of intracellular c-AMP.
