Description

PDE7B (phosphodiesterase 7B) encodes a member of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family that specifically hydrolyzes cAMP. The enzyme plays a role in regulating intracellular cAMP levels, impacting signaling pathways in the brain, immune cells, and other tissues. Alternative splicing generates multiple transcript variants.

Protein Summary

PDE7B is a 450-amino acid protein that specifically hydrolyzes cAMP to AMP, thereby terminating cAMP-dependent signaling. It contains a conserved catalytic domain and is expressed in multiple isoforms. The enzyme is implicated in neuronal plasticity, immune cell activation, and smooth muscle relaxation.
