General description
Cell-permeable cAMP analog that activates both protein kinase A and protein kinase G. Directly activates Epac, a Rap1 guanine-nucleotide exchange factor. Also acts as a potent inhibitor of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase (IC50 = 900 nM). Inhibits cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase at much higher concentrations (IC50 = 25 µM).
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).
