RAPGEF3, CGEF1, EPAC, EPAC1, Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 3, Exchange factor directly activated by cAMP 1, Exchange protein directly activated by cAMP 1, EPAC 1, Rap1 guanine-nucleotide-exchange factor directly activated by cAMP
The activation of RaP1 by cAMP is independent of PKA and is mediated by recently discovered family of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) called cAMP-GEFs or Epacs. The Epac signaling therefore represents a novel mechanism for cAMP signaling with in the cAMP cascade.
