Synonyms
cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase; cAMP-specific PDE; PDE1; PDE2A; PDE2B; PDE4; PDE7; PDE8; PDEB1; PDEB2
Function
Requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity. This enzyme is specific for 3′,5′-cAMP and does not hydrolyse other nucleoside 3′,5′-cyclic phosphates such as cGMP (cf. EC 3.1.4.17, 3,5-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase and EC 3.1.4.35, 3,5-cyclic-GMP phosphodiesterase). It is involved in modulation of the levels of cAMP, which is a mediator in the processes of cell transformation and proliferation.
Applications
Research Use
Production Methods
Fermentation
Unit Definition
One unit will convert 1.0 picomole of 3',5'-cGMP to 5'-GMP per minute at pH 7.4 at 37°C.
Reaction
adenosine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphate + H2O = AMP
