Used primarily in biochemical research to study the role of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in cellular processes. It acts as a potent activator of protein kinase A (PKA), making it valuable for investigating signal transduction pathways. Commonly applied in experiments to understand cAMP-mediated effects on cell metabolism, gene expression, and neuronal function. It is also utilized in pharmacological studies to explore potential therapeutic targets for diseases influenced by cAMP signaling, such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurological conditions. Its ability to mimic endogenous cAMP allows researchers to dissect complex cellular mechanisms in a controlled manner.
