cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as PDE2A_HUMAN, PDE2A. cGMP-activated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase with a dual-specificity for the second messengers cAMP and cGMP, which are key regulators of many important physiological processes (PubMed:9210593, PubMed:29392776, PubMed:15938621). Has a higher efficiency with cGMP compared to cAMP (PubMed:15938621). Plays a role in cell growth and migration (PubMed:24705027)., Regulates mitochondrial cAMP levels and respiration (By similarity). Involved in the regulation of mitochondria morphology/dynamics and apoptotic cell death via local modulation of cAMP/PKA signaling in the mitochondrion, including the monitoring of local cAMP levels at the outer mitochondrial membrane and of PKA-dependent phosphorylation of DNM1L (PubMed:28463107). Homodimer.
