| UniProt functional annotation for O76074 | |||
| UniProt code: O76074. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | 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 (PubMed:9714779, PubMed:15489334). Specifically regulates nitric-oxide- generated cGMP (PubMed:15489334). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15489334, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9714779}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=3',5'-cyclic GMP + H2O = GMP + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:16957, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57746, ChEBI:CHEBI:58115; EC=3.1.4.35; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:9714779}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12955149}; Note=Binds 1 Zn(2+) ion per subunit. Binds 2 divalent metal cations per subunit: site 1 preferentially binds zinc, while site 2 has a preference for magnesium. Tightly binds zinc. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12955149}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12955149}; Note=Binds 1 Mg(2+) ions per subunit. Binds 2 divalent metal cations per subunit: site 1 preferentially binds zinc, while site 2 has a preference for magnesium. Binds magnesium less tightly than zinc. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12955149}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Sildenafil (Viagra) is a highly selective and potent inhibitor of PDE5A and is effective in the treatment of penile erectile dysfunction. Also inhibited by zaprinast. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12955149}. | |
| Pathway: | Purine metabolism; 3',5'-cyclic GMP degradation; GMP from 3',5'-cyclic GMP: step 1/1. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed in aortic smooth muscle cells, heart, placenta, skeletal muscle and pancreas and, to a much lesser extent, in brain, liver and lung. | |
| Domain: | Composed of a C-terminal catalytic domain containing two putative divalent metal sites and an N-terminal regulatory domain which contains two homologous allosteric cGMP-binding regions, A and B. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylation is regulated by binding of cGMP to the two allosteric sites (By similarity). Phosphorylation by PRKG1 leads to its activation. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11723116}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
