c-GpAp Usage And Synthesis

Uses

cGAMP sodium salt has been used in cGAS-cGAMP Activity Assay.

Uses

c-GpAp induces the production of interferons, a usual response to triggers in the cytoplasm of mammalian cells by the presence of DNA.

Definition

ChEBI: C-GMP-AMP is a cyclic purine dinucleotide that consists of AMP and GMP units cyclised via 3',5'-linkages. It is an adenyl ribonucleotide, a cyclic purine dinucleotide and a guanyl ribonucleotide. It is a conjugate acid of a c-GMP-AMP(2-).

Biochem/physiol Actions

cGAMP induces the formation of cytokines (interferon-β, interferon-γ), activation of dendritic cells and CD8+ T cell cross priming. Through this action, it promotes innate immune response. cGAMP possesses antitumor activity and is prefered for immunotherapy in cancer treatment.
