Exchange factors directly activated by cAMP mediate melanocortin 4 receptor-induced gene expression
Gs protein-coupled receptors regulate many vital body functions by activation of cAMP response elements (CRE) via cAMP-dependent kinase A (PKA)-mediated phosphorylation of the CRE binding protein (CREB). Melanocortin 4 receptors (MC4R) are prototypical Gs-coupled receptors that orchestrate the hypothalamic control of food-intake and metabolism. Remarkably, the significance of PKA for MC4R-induc...
متن کاملIsoform-specific antagonists of exchange proteins directly activated by cAMP.
The major physiological effects of cAMP in mammalian cells are transduced by two ubiquitously expressed intracellular cAMP receptors, protein kinase A (PKA) and exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC), as well as cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channels in certain tissues. Although a large number of PKA inhibitors are available, there are no reported EPAC-specific antagonists, despite ex...
متن کاملChapter 4 : Exchange protein directly activated By cAMP ( EPAC ) regulates neuronal polarization through Rap 1 B
Acquisition of neuronal polarity is a complex process involving cellular and molecular events. The second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is involved in axonal specification through activation of protein kinase A (PKA). However, an alternative cAMP-dependent mechanism involves the exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC), which also responds to physiological changes in...
متن کاملRenal expression of exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac) 1 and 2.
In the kidney, many physiological processes of ion transport and cellular proliferation are mediated via cAMP, which classically activates protein kinase A (PKA). Recently, however, two new cAMP targets, the exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac) 1 and 2, were identified, which mediate alternative pathways to PKA. To investigate their renal expression, antibodies specifically recogn...
متن کاملMicrotubule-associated proteins (MAPs) regulate cAMP signalling through exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (EPAC).
cAMP is an essential signalling molecule whose concentration in cells is regulated by a wide range of hormones. A large number of diseases, including cancer and asthma, are linked to improper regulation of the cAMP signalling system, and manipulation of cAMP levels by pharmaceutical agents has proven therapeutic benefit. The action of cAMP in cells is mediated through the signalling enzymes PKA...
