Description
Forskolin is a cell permeable adenylate cyclase activator which causes an increase in the intracellular concentration of cAMP. This makes it an important hypotensive and vasodilatory agent. Forskolin also affects calcium currents and inhibits PKC (Protein Kinase C)-stimulated MAPK and RAF-1.
