Abstract excerpt
cAMP stimulates proliferation in many cell types. For many years, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) represented the only known cAMP effector. PKA, however, does not fully mimic the action of cAMP, indicating the existence of a PKA-independent component. Since cAMP-mediated activation of the G-protein Rap1 and its phosphorylation by PKA are strictly required for the effects of cAMP on mitogenesis, we...
