| Research Abstract |
We have searched for downstream signals of cAMP/Epac2/Rap1 in pancreaticβ-cells and identified several candidate molecules. We have also found that Rho family GTPase Cdc42, which is involved in actin dynamics, is activated by cAMP/Epac2 stimulation in pancreaticβ-cells and its knockdown decreases cAMP-potentiated insulin secretion. These results suggest that Epac2 mediates the potentiation of insulin secretion by cAMP through the activation of several downstream signals.
