Background
Adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP; cAMP) is one of the most important "second messengers" involved as a modulator of physiological processes. cyclic AMP is also involved in regulating neuronal, glandular, cardiovascular, immune and other functions and actions. A number of hormones are known to activate cyclic AMP through the action of the enzyme adenylate cyclase which converts ATP to cyclic AMP. These hormones include a variety of anterior pituitary peptide hormones such as corticotropin (ACTH), glucagon, calcitonin, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). cyclic AMP has been shown to be involved in the cardiovascular, nervous system, and immune mechanisms, cell growth and differentiation, and general metabolism. There remains considerable interest in the measurement of intracellular cyclic AMP in tissues and cell cultures, and this may help to provide an understanding of the physiology and pathology of many disease states.

Significance and Uses
Assay Designs' Direct cyclic AMP (cAMP) kit is designed for use with cell culture and tissue. The kit includes 0.1M HCl which is used to lyse the cells, stop endogenous phosphodiesterase activity and stabilize the released cyclic AMP. The 0.1M HCl treated samples are then analyzed directly in the microtiter plate without extraction, drying or reconstitution. If analysis is to be performed on samples in buffer or with samples that have been extracted and dried down, please refer to Assay Designs' Regular cyclic AMP kit.

Species Reactivity
Species Independent

Time To Answer
3 hours

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use.
