GeneID: 5151 Human PDE8A

Swiss-port # O60658 Human High affinity cAMP-specific and IBMX-insensitive 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiest

Gene Symbol PDE8A
Gene Full Name phosphodiesterase 8A
Background 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]
Function Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes (PubMed:18983167). May be involved in maintaining basal levels of the cyclic nucleotide and/or in the cAMP regulation of germ cell development (PubMed:18983167). Binding to RAF1 reduces RAF1 'Ser-259' inhibitory-phosphorylation and stimulates RAF1-dependent EGF-activated ERK-signaling (PubMed:23509299). Protects against cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide and staurosporine (PubMed:23509299). [UniProt]
Calculated MW 93 kDa
PTM Phosphorylated at Ser-359 by PKA under elevated cAMP conditions, this enhances catalytic activity. [UniProt]
