CYCLIC AMP

Specialty Definition: CYCLIC AMP

Domain	Definition
Health	Adenosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH. (references)

Non-Fiction Usage: CYCLIC AMP

Subject	Topic	Quote
Health		Studies in peripheral nerve cells have shown that activating the cyclic AMP "second messenger" system augments the effects of trophic factors. (references)
		Although activating the cyclic AMP second messenger pathway with the drug forskolin did not sustain retinal ganglion cells in culture, and trophic factors alone were insufficient, the two combined saved more than a third of the cultured cells. (references)
		Cyclic AMP is a small molecule that carries messages from cell surface receptors activated by "first messengers" (hormones, neurotransmitters, or other signals) to sites within the cell. Like other second messenger systems, this biochemical pathway allows a single first messenger to control several cellular processes and helps in regulating and integrating the many signals cells receive.
