Rutabaga (rut) is the name of the gene encoding calcium-sensitive dependent adenylate cyclase in fruit flies.{{cite journal | vauthors = Levin LR, Han PL, Hwang PM, Feinstein PG, Davis RL, Reed RR | title = The Drosophila learning and memory gene rutabaga encodes a Ca2+/Calmodulin-responsive adenylyl cyclase | journal = Cell | volume = 68 | issue = 3 | pages = 479–89 | date = February 1992 | pmid = 1739965 | doi = 10.1016/0092-8674(92)90185-F | s2cid = 10739784 | doi-access = free }}

Rutabaga has been implicated in a number of functions, including learning and memory, behavior, and cell communication. Its human homolog is ADCY1.{{cite journal | vauthors = Livingstone MS, Sziber PP, Quinn WG | title = Loss of calcium/calmodulin responsiveness in adenylate cyclase of rutabaga, a Drosophila learning mutant | journal = Cell | volume = 37 | issue = 1 | pages = 205–15 | date = May 1984 | pmid = 6327051 | doi = 10.1016/0092-8674(84)90316-7 | doi-access = free }}{{cite web |url=http://flybase.org/reports/FBgn0003301.html |title=FlyBase Gene Report: Dmel\rut |access-date=2008-09-27 |work=FlyBase}}
