Cyclic AMP and Cell Behavior in Cultured Cells

摘要: Publisher Summary The studies reviewed in this chapter make it clear that adenosine 3 ' ,5 -monophosphate (cyclic AMP, cAMP) regulates or affects a great number of the properties cells are measurable culture. multiple effects cAMP probably indicate nature has used molecule for regulatory functions rather frequently. ubiquitous occurrence from bacteria to mammalian cells, and common thread as regulator specific different cell types, points out uniqueness its role. wide variety reactions origins led concept is capable turning on those mechanisms which been genetically programmed. When these undergo malignant change, however, sensitivity control growth reappears, only can overcome go produce tumors.
