Description
General description
Cell-permeable cAMP analog that activates both protein kinase A and protein kinase G. Induces the guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor activity of EGFI, also known as Epac (exchange protein directly activated by cAMP), and EGFII towards Rap1 both in vivo and in vitro. Also acts as a potent inhibitor of cGMP specific phosphodiesterase (IC₅₀ = 900 nM). Also inhibits cAMP-specific phosphodiesterases at much higher concentrations (IC₅₀ = 25 µM).
Biochem/physiol Actions
