ABSTRACT
Epac acts as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the Raslike small G-proteins Rap1 and Rap2,which activates independently classical effector of cAMP,protein kinase A. Many studies have demonstrated that Epac modulates various cAMP-de-pendent cardiovascular functions,such as calcium handling and ion channel remodeling,which are involved in the development of ar-rhythmias and heart failure. The novel cAMP sensor may represent an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of several cardiovas-cular disorders,including cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure,because themodulation of Epac function is expected to enable morespe-cific regulation of particular cAMP-mediated signals than therapies targeting β-AR and Acs.
