1 21839765 In addition, exendin-4, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, decreases Src pY416 and glucose-induced ROS production and ameliorates impaired ATP production dependently on Epac in GK islets.
2 12496249 We propose that the interaction of cAMP and Epac to trigger CICR explains, at least in part, the blood glucose-lowering properties of an insulinotropic hormone (glucagon-like peptide-1, also known as GLP-1) now under investigation for use in the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus.
3 17639022 To determine specific contributions within Epac-Rim2-Munc13-1 interaction sites accounting for cAMP rescue of exocytosis caused by Munc13-1 deficiency, we found that blockade of Rim2-Munc13-1 interaction with Rim-Munc13-1-binding domain peptide abolished cAMP rescue, whereas blockade of Epac-Rim2 interaction with Rim2-PDZ peptide only moderately reduced refilling with little effect on RRP. cAMP rescue of priming defects caused by Munc13-1 deficiency via Epac and PKA signaling pathways requires downstream Munc13-1-Rim2 interaction.
4 20339002 Although the Epac proteins were originally identified as cAMP-responsive activators of Rap1 GTPases, the role of Rap1 in beta-cell biology has not yet been defined.
5 14693691 Two variants of Epac (Epac1 and Epac2) are expressed in beta-cells, and downregulation of Epac function diminishes stimulatory effects of GLP-1 on beta-cell Ca(2+) signaling and insulin secretion.
6 21734192 The model reconstructed satisfactorily the dynamic changes in [cAMP] and predicted the activities of cAMP effectors, protein kinase A (PKA), and cAMP-regulated guanine nucleotide exchange factor [cAMP-GEF or exchange protein directly activated by cAMP (Epac)] during GLP-1 stimulation.
