Function

PDE5A_HUMAN Plays a role in signal transduction by regulating the intracellular concentration of cyclic nucleotides. This phosphodiesterase catalyzes the specific hydrolysis of cGMP to 5'-GMP.PDE4A_HUMAN Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes.^{[1] [2]}
