| UniProt functional annotation for Q13946 | |||
| UniProt code: Q13946. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes. May have a role in muscle signal transduction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19350606}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=3',5'-cyclic AMP + H2O = AMP + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:25277, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:58165, ChEBI:CHEBI:456215; EC=3.1.4.53; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=a divalent metal cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:60240; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:19350606}; Note=Binds 2 divalent metal cations per subunit. Site 1 may preferentially bind zinc ions, while site 2 has a preference for magnesium and/or manganese ions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19350606}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Insensitive to all selective PDE inhibitors. | |
| Pathway: | Purine metabolism; 3',5'-cyclic AMP degradation; AMP from 3',5'-cyclic AMP: step 1/1. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with CBFA2T3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15470020, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15994308, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19350606}. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform PDE7A1]: Cytoplasm, cytosol. Note=PDE7A1 (57 kDa) is located mostly to soluble cellular fractions. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform PDE7A2]: Cytoplasm. Note=PDE7A2 (50 kDa) is located to particulate cellular fractions. | |
| Tissue specificity: | PDE7A1 is found at high levels in skeletal muscle and at low levels in a variety of tissues including brain and heart. It is expressed as well in two T-cell lines. PDE7A2 is found abundantly in skeletal muscle and at low levels in heart. | |
| Developmental stage: | Developmentally regulated. PDE7A1 and PDE7A2 are found in several fetal tissues, expression is reduced throughout development. It persists strongly only in adult skeletal muscle. | |
| Domain: | Composed of a C-terminal catalytic domain containing two putative divalent metal sites and an N-terminal regulatory domain. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family. PDE7 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
