Uses
Sp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS is a membrane-permeable PKG agonist and a membrane-permeable inhibitor of retinal-type cGMP-gated ion channels, as well as an activator of cGMP-dependent protein kinases I α and I β. Sp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS is resistant to mammalian cyclic nucleotide-dependent phosphodiesterases, has no metabolic side effects, and is more lipophilic and permeable than Sp-8-pCPT-cGMPS. Sp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS can be used to study the role of cGMP signaling pathways in the nervous system[1].
