Description:
8-CPT-2Me-cAMP sodium is a selective activator of exchange proteins activated by cAMP (Epac), the cAMP sensitive guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) for the small GTPases Rap1 and Rap2. 8-CPT-2Me-cAMP sodium activates Epac1 (EC50 = 2.2 μM), but not PKA (EC50> 10 μM). 8-CPT-2Me-cAMP sodium stimulates Epac-mediated Ca2+ release in pancreatic β-cells in vitro.
Handling:
Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance,
