Product Information:
A potent, cell-permeable Epac (exchange protein directly activated by cAMP) activator1. Induces RAP1 activation and insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cell lines2-5. Induces vascular relaxation in rat mesenteric artery6. The acetoxymethyl ester confers increased cell-permeability and is cleaved by endogenous esterases to yield the active compound, 8-pCPT-2'-O-Me-cAMP. Addition to cell cultures should be done in serum-free media as esterases in serum will cleave the acetoxymethyl ester and reduce cell permeability.
