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}.
