Rp-cAMPS sodium salt(Cat No.:I014837)is a synthetic analog of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) that functions as a selective, competitive inhibitor of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). By binding to the regulatory subunit of PKA without activating it, Rp-cAMPS blocks cAMP-mediated signaling, allowing precise study of PKA-dependent pathways. This reagent is widely used in cell signaling research to dissect the role of cAMP/PKA in processes such as metabolism, gene expression, synaptic plasticity, and cardiac function. The sodium salt form ensures stability and solubility for reliable biochemical and cellular studies.
