Bioactivity | Bucladesine (Dibutyryl cAMP; DBcAMP) is a membrane permeable selective activator that activates cyclic adenosine phosphate dependent protein kinase A (PKA). The main regulatory mechanism of Bucladesine involves the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. When Bucladesine activates PKA, it can promote a variety of cellular processes, including neurodevelopment, growth and plasticity. In particular, the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway plays a key role in the expression of long-term enhancement (LTP) and long-term inhibition (LTD), as well as in the formation of long-term memory in the hippocampus. Bucladesine can be used to study memory formation and neuroplasticity[1]. |
