Application
Dibutyryl cAMP is a cell-permeable cAMP analogue that activates cAMP dependent protein kinase (PKA) or the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway. Dibutyryl cAMP is used as a morphological differentiation inducer and cell signaling modulator in cells such as Schwann cells. It is used in a variety of neural differentiation studies.
