We have developed a simple and inexpensive method for largecapacity cAMP determination in biological materials. The assay is based on competitive binding of 3H-cAMP to proteins isolated from rabbit skeletal muscle. Bovine serum albumin is added to the incubate to reduce non-specific interference. Separation of free and bound radioactivity is performed by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation allowing determination of either free or bound fraction. In the latter case, all procedures are performed in the same tube, to which is finally added 1.2 ml of scintillation fluid for counting. By this only one fourth. The method has been applied to rat tissue extracts and urine with satisfactory sensitivity, precision and accuracy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.
