cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate)

G_CAMP

What does this word mean?

A second messenger whose intracellular level rises after the A2A receptor is activated.

Expanded note

cAMP then activates protein kinase A, forming the cascade node from which several downstream pathways branch. The site mechanism page expands this chain in the order A2A, cAMP, PKA, PI3K/Akt, VEGF.

A real example from our data

Not a generic example.

PMID 42795363 observed A2A receptor-related anti-inflammatory responses and the cAMP pathway together in a carbon tetrachloride liver injury model.
