Rabbit polyclonal to PDE4The cAMP-specific Phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) family is comprised of 4 genes (PDE4 A, B, C and D) with multiple splice variants generated by RNA splicing and use of alternate initiation sites. The cAMP-dependent protein kinase A modulates the enzyme activity of some PDE4 family members by phosphorylation / dephosphorylation mechanisms. Such short-term regulatory mechanisms are necessary for rapid changes in the cAMP levels in cells. PDE4 family selective inhibitor, rolipram inhibits all members of the PDE4 family. In rodents inhibition of PDE4 enzymes by rolipram attenuated short- and long-term memory impairment produced by the administration of scopolamine and MK801. Interaction of these enzymes with cellular scaffolding proteins plays important role in PDE4 compartmentalization and cAMP-dependent signaling.
