Rationale for change

UWorld:

QId: 400995 (4908855)
G protein–coupled receptors activate the enzyme adenylate cyclase, which converts ATP into cyclic AMP (cAMP) in the cytosol.

Kaplan Biochem Ch3

several different G proteins that can result in either stimulation or inhibition of the signaling pathway. There are three main types of G proteins: Gs stimulates adenylate cyclase, which increases levels of cAMP in the cell.

From looking online, it seems like both terms are used but adenylate is more commonly used which is consistent with UWorld and Kaplan. Adenylate cyclase is even in the image in this card. The UWorld question I included above also directly tested adenylate cyclase as the answer.
