Adenosine 3?,5?-cyclic monophosphate sodium salt monohydrate is used as an activator of protein kinase A (PKA) . A key regulator of many cellular reactions. Released in response to hormonal stimulation. . Directly activates Epac, a Rap1 guanine-nucleotide exchange factor. Acts as a second messenger in signal transduction mechanisms. Promotes apoptosis in resting human B lymphocytes.
Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate sodium salt is an Adenosine (A280400) derivative useful as anticancer agent.
Naturally-occurring activator of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). cAMP is an important second messenger that is linked in many systems to neurotransmitter- or hormone-induced receptor stimulation. The cAMP/PKA signaling pathway has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation, induce differentiation and lead to apoptosis.
