Human Gene PDE8A (uc002blj.3)
  Description: Homo sapiens phosphodiesterase 8A (PDE8A), transcript variant 2, mRNA.
RefSeq Summary (NM_173454): The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) family, and PDE8 subfamily. This PDE hydrolyzes the second messenger, cAMP, which is a regulator and mediator of a number of cellular responses to extracellular signals. Thus, by regulating the cellular concentration of cAMP, this protein plays a key role in many important physiological processes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011].

  ID: PDE8A_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=High affinity cAMP-specific and IBMX-insensitive 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 8A; EC=3.1.4.17;
FUNCTION: Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes. May be involved in maintaining basal levels of the cyclic nucleotide and/or in the cAMP regulation of germ cell development.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Adenosine 3',5'-cyclic phosphate + H(2)O = adenosine 5'-phosphate.
COFACTOR: Binds 2 divalent metal cations per subunit. Site 1 may preferentially bind zinc ions, while site 2 has a preference for magnesium and/or manganese ions.
ENZYME REGULATION: Inhibited by dipyridimole. Insensitive to selective PDE inhibitors including rolipram and zaprinast as well as to the non-selective inhibitor, IBMX. Unaffected by cGMP.
PATHWAY: Purine metabolism; 3',5'-cyclic AMP degradation; AMP from 3',5'-cyclic AMP: step 1/1.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in most tissues except thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. Highest levels in testis, ovary, small intestine and colon.
DOMAIN: Composed of a C-terminal catalytic domain containing two putative divalent metal sites and an N-terminal regulatory domain.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family. PDE8 subfamily.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PAC (PAS-associated C-terminal) domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PAS (PER-ARNT-SIM) domain.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
