Anti-PDE7B

The 3',5'-cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP function as second messengers in a wide variety of signal transduction pathways. 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) catalyze the hydrolysis of cAMP and cGMP to the corresponding 5'-monophosphates and provide a mechanism to downregulate cAMP and cGMP signaling. This gene encodes a cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase, a member of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family. Protein function: Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes (PubMed:10814504, PubMed:10872825). May be involved in the control of cAMP-mediated neural activity and cAMP metabolism in the brain (PubMed:10814504). [The UniProt Consortium]
