Used in research for its ability to activate adenylate cyclase, increasing cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels in cells. This property makes it valuable in studying cell signaling pathways, metabolism, and hormone regulation. Commonly applied in cardiovascular studies due to its vasodilatory and positive inotropic effects. Also explored in weight management and glaucoma research for its potential to support fat metabolism and reduce intraocular pressure. Widely used in laboratory settings to stimulate cAMP-dependent processes in various cell types.
