This compound is widely used in biochemical research to study cellular processes, particularly those involving cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathways. It acts as a stable analog of cAMP, making it valuable for investigating the role of cAMP in cell regulation, gene expression, and protein kinase activation. It is often employed in experiments to mimic the effects of cAMP in cells, helping researchers understand its impact on various physiological functions. Additionally, it is utilized in studies related to cardiac function, smooth muscle relaxation, and neuronal signaling. Its ability to penetrate cell membranes more effectively than cAMP makes it a preferred choice for in vitro and in vivo studies.
