Scientific Background: PDE1A is a member of the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family that is stimulated by Ca2+-calmodulin. PDE1A is a cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase and hydrolyzes cGMP to 5'-GMP. Calmodulin is tightly bound to PDE1A in human spermatozoa and this results in permanent activation of PDE1A (1). Inhibition of PDE1A function significantly attenuates vascular smooth muscle cell growth by decreasing proliferation via G1 arrest and induces apoptosis (2). In vascular smooth muscle cell, PDE1A is important in regulating growth and survival of these cells and thus can contribute to the neointima formation in atherosclerosis and restenosis.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) play a role in signal transduction by regulating intracellular cyclic nucleotide concentrations through hydrolysis of cAMP and/or cGMP to their respective nucleoside 5-prime monophosphates. Members of the PDE1 family, such as PDE1A, are Ca(2+)/calmodulin (see CALM1; MIM 114180)-dependent PDEs (CaM-PDEs) that are activated by calmodulin in the presence of Ca(2+) (Michibata et al., 2001 [PubMed 11342109]; Fidock et al., 2002 [PubMed 11747989]).[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2009]
Uniprot Description
PDE1A: Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase with a dual- specificity for the second messengers cAMP and cGMP, which are key regulators of many important physiological processes. Has a higher affinity for cGMP than for cAMP. Belongs to the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family. PDE1 subfamily. 9 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q32.1
Cellular Component: cytosol
Molecular Function: 3',5'-cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase activity; 3',5'-cyclic-GMP phosphodiesterase activity; calmodulin-dependent cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity

Product Notes
The PDE1A pde1a (Catalog #AAA515627) is an Active Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PDE1A, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
