High affinity cAMP-specific and IBMX-insensitive 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 8A

UniProt O60658 Organism Homo sapiens Gene PDE8A EC 3.1.4.53

Also known as: PDE8A

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. Binding to RAF1 reduces RAF1 'Ser-259' inhibitory-phosphorylation and stimulates RAF1-dependent EGF-activated ERK-signaling. Protects against cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide and staurosporine.
