About PDE4A

Cytogenetic location: 19p13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 19:10,416,773-10,469,631 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 261 orthologues and 20 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 5.3), brain (RPKM 5.3) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) family, and PDE4 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 described for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
