Forskolin is a naturally occurring diterpene from the Indian plant, Coleus forskohlii, and works as an activator of adenylate cyclase resulting in an increase in the intracellular concentration of cAMP. Forskolin is used in several differentiation protocols for its ability to potentiate neuron differentiation.
