PDE8A

protein-coding

phosphodiesterase 8A, the group of Phosphodiesterases|PAS domain containing

Gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) family, and PDE8 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 found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_002605.3. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes (PubMed:18983167). May be involved in maintaining basal levels of the cyclic nucleotide and/or in the cAMP regulation of germ cell development (PubMed:18983167). Binding to RAF1 reduces RAF1 'Ser- 259' inhibitory-phosphorylation and stimulates RAF1-dependent EGF- activated ERK-signaling (PubMed:23509299). Protects against cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide and staurosporine (PubMed:23509299). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18983167, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23509299}.;
