MeSH definition : Cell surface proteins that bind cyclic AMP with high affinity and trigger intracellular
changes which influence the behavior of cells. The best characterized cyclic AMP receptors
are those of the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. The transcription regulator
CYCLIC AMP RECEPTOR PROTEIN of prokaryotes is not included nor are the eukaryotic
cytoplasmic cyclic AMP receptor proteins which are the regulatory subunits of CYCLIC
AMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES.;
