TrailBio® Forskolin

$100.00

Adenylyl cyclase activator for cAMP signaling workflows 

  • Cell-permeable diterpene used to activate adenylyl cyclase and increase intracellular cAMP levels.
  • Supports research involving GPCR/G protein signaling, cAMP pathway modulation, metabolic enzyme/protease activity, Wnt/β-catenin, TGF-β/Smad, and organoid workflows.
  • Reported to activate PXR and FXR, supporting nuclear receptor and metabolic signaling research workflows.

Description

Technical Information & Resources

Supporting Publications

Seamon et al. (1981), PNAS

  • Foundational paper identified Forskolin as a unique diterpene activator of adenylyl cyclase in membrane preparations and intact cells, supporting its use as a direct cAMP-elevating small molecule.

Awad et al. (1983), Journal of Biological Chemistry

  • This paper examined the interaction between Forskolin and adenylyl cyclase, supporting its role as a direct modulator of adenylyl cyclase activity.

Rodriguez et al. (2013), Journal of Biological Chemistry

  • This paper shows that Forskolin-induced cAMP signaling reduces human T-cell proliferation, with Forskolin increasing intracellular cAMP approximately 5- to 20-fold above basal levels in cell-based assays.
