cAMP-Mediated Responses in Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells and Epithelial Cells: Roles for PKA?

p2-Adrenoceptor agonists are a mainstay in asthma therapy and act via adenylyl cyclase to increase intraceJlular cyclic adenosine-3 ,5 -monophosphate (cAMP). Upon binding ofcAMP to the regulatory subunits of protein kinase A (PKA), there is dissociation of the catalytic subunits. These may then phos...
