The cyclic AMP pathway

Paolo Sassone-Corsi. Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol. .

Abstract

cAMP was the first second messenger to be identified. Its three main effectors are PKA (which phosphorylates numerous metabolic enzymes), EPAC (a guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor), and cyclic-nucleotide-gated ion channels.
