'''cAMP-specific 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 4A' is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PDE4A'' gene.

Gene data

PDE4A
Name
phosphodiesterase 4A
Type
protein-coding
Aliases
DPDE2, PDE4, PDE46

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].
