“…Epac1 is most abundant in the heart, kidney, blood vessels, adipose tissue, central nervous system, ovary, and uterus (de Rooij et al, 1998;Kawasaki et al, 1998), whereas Epac2 splice variants (Epac2A Biology of the Epac Signalosome and Epac2B) are mostly expressed in the central nervous system (Epac2A), adrenal gland (Epac2B), and pancreas (Epac2A; (de Rooij et al, 1998;Kawasaki et al, 1998;Niimura et al, 2009). Additionally, expression of Epac1 has been found to be present in monocytes, macrophages, B and T lymphocytes, eosinophils, neutrophils, platelets, and in CD34-positive hematopoietic cells (Tiwari et al, 2004;Bryn et al, 2006;Gerlo et al, 2006), whereas Epac2 was undetectable in all studied hematopoietic cell types (Tiwari et al, 2004). Neurite outgrowth and axon regeneration require Epac2 upregulation and Epac1 downregulation in adults (Murray and Shewan, 2008;Murray et al, 2009a).…”
