E7109 PKI(5-24) PKI(5-24) is a potent, competitive, and synthetic peptide inhibitor of PKA (cAMP-dependent protein kinase), with a Ki of 2.3 nM. It can be used for research to study hormonal regulation of the CAMP-dependent protein kinase.
E4793 Bucladesine calcium Bucladesine calcium (Dibutyryl-cAMP Calcium Salt, DBcAMP calcium salt) is a cell-permeable analog of cyclic AMP. It serves as a potent activator of protein kinase A (PKA) and mimics the effects of endogenous cAMP. It also inhibits phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity, with the potential to treat congestive heart failure, wound healing, and inflammation.
