	Cyclic adenosine monophosphate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP, cyclic AMP or 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is a molecule that is important in many biological processes; it is derived from adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
		Cyclic AMP is involved in some protein kinases.
		Cyclic AMP binds to specific locations on the regulatory units of the protein kinase, and causes dissociation between the regulatory and catalytic subunits, thus activating the catalytic units and enabling them to phosphorylate substrate proteins.

		A number of hormones are known to activate cyclic AMP through the action of the enzyme adenylate cyclase which converts ATP to cyclic AMP.
		Because cyclic AMP has been shown to be involved in the cardiovascular and nervous systems, immune mechanisms, cell growth and differentiation, and general metabolism, there remains considerable interest in the measurement of intracellular concentrations in tissues and cell cultures.
		The investigation of cyclic AMP may help to provide a clearer understanding of the physiology and pathology of many disease states.

		Cyclic AMP is also involved in controlling gene expression and cell division, in immune responses, and in nervous transmission.
		Adenylyl cyclase is the enzyme that synthesizes cyclic adenosine monophosphate or cyclic AMP from adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
		Cyclic AMP functions as a "second messenger" to relay extracellular signals to intracellular effectors such as protein kinase A, and regulation of intracellular concentrations of cyclic AMP is largely a result in controlling adenylyl cyclase.

		In mice the reduction of brain cyclic AMP levels by either propranolol or imidazole increased the duration and intensity of action of a single injection of morphine (Contreras, Castillo and Quijada, 1972).
		Since cyclic AMP is thought to be involved in the mediation of noradrenergic transmission, drugs which affect monoamine metabolism have been studied in animals concomitantly receiving cyclic AMP.
		Conversely, cyclic AMP injections failed to alter the analgesic dose of morphine after brain norepinephrine levels were increased by administration of dihydroxyphenylserine.

		It was at that time that he isolated a previously unknown chemical, called cyclic AMP, and proved that it functioned in an intermediary role in many hormonal functions.
		Sutherland showed for the first time that hormones did not send their messages regarding digestive, reproductive, or metabolic functions directly to the target organs but, instead, they activated the cyclic AMP and it was that chemical that told the organs what to do.
		Further research showed cyclic AMP also was instrumental in the transmission of genetic information and in abnormal cell growth.

		To verify the relationship between intracellular cyclic AMP and inhibition of eosinophil migration, we measured the levels of this nucleotide in eosinophils.
		Nevertheless, it should be considered that the slight increase in the eosinophil cyclic AMP may be dependent on (i) the rapid/transient nature of cyclic AMP level changes, (ii) its extrusion to the extracellular environment and (iii) compartimentalization of cyclic nucleotide alterations (Vegesna & Diamond, 1984).
		Considering the effect of the cell permeable cyclic nucleotide analogues, we observed that either PAF or LTB4 was at best inhibited to only 60% after high concentration (100 uM), supporting the idea that there is not always a direct association between the suppression of biological responses and elevation of cyclic AMP levels.
