Exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac) protects against airway inflammation and airway remodeling in asthmatic mice

Abstract Background β2 receptor agonists induce airway smooth muscle relaxation by increasing intracellular cAMP production. PKA is the traditional downstream signaling pathway of cAMP. Exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac) was identified as another important signaling molecule of cAMP...
