Summary

PDE4A (phosphodiesterase 4A, HGNC:8780) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.2, encoding 3’,5’-cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase 4A (P27815). Hydrolyzes the second messenger 3’,5’-cyclic AMP (cAMP), which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes.

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) family, and PDE4 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 described for this gene.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 29 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
