cAMP levels increase when adenosine is bound and are not effected when caffeine is bound. ERK1 and ERK2 are kinases, which modify serine and threonine, of the GMGC group that regulation of cell growth and differentiation, and if adenosine was bound, this cascade of events would occur, but when Trimethylxanthine is bound, this regulation does not occur (Xu and Stevens, 2011). | cAMP levels increase when adenosine is bound and are not effected when caffeine is bound.
