Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Enzymatic activity**: PDE4A is a phosphodiesterase enzyme that hydrolyzes cAMP and cGMP, thereby regulating the levels of these second messengers in the cell. 2. **Tissue specificity**: PDE4A is highly expressed in the cerebral cortex, particularly in glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons, suggesting a specialized role in regulating neuronal function in this region. 3. **Signaling pathway involvement**: PDE4A is implicated in various signaling pathways, including those mediated by GPCRs, opioid receptors, and adenylate cyclase-activating GPCRs, highlighting its broad functional significance. 4. **Darpp-32 events**: PDE4A is involved in the regulation of the dopamine-regulated phosphoprotein, dopamine and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein 32 (Darpp-32), which plays a critical role in synaptic plasticity and learning. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway**: PDE4A regulates the signaling events mediated by GPCRs, including those involved in sensory perception, such as the detection of smell. 2. **Opioid signaling pathway**: PDE4A is involved in the regulation of opioid receptor-mediated signaling, which is critical for pain modulation and reward processing. 3. **Adenylate cyclase-activating GPCR signaling pathway**: PDE4A regulates the signaling events mediated by adenylate cyclase-activating GPCRs, which play a critical role in various physiological processes, including cardiovascular function and inflammation. 4. **Protein kinase A signaling pathway**: PDE4A regulates the activity of protein kinase A (PKA), a key enzyme involved in various cellular processes, including gene transcription and protein phosphorylation. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Neurological disorders**: Alterations in PDE4A expression or activity have been implicated in various neurological disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and Parkinson's disease. 2. **Pain modulation**: PDE4A inhibitors have been investigated as potential therapeutic agents for the treatment of chronic pain, as they can modulate opioid receptor-mediated signaling. 3. **Cognitive function**: PDE4A is involved in regulating cognitive processes, including learning and memory, and alterations in its expression or activity may contribute to cognitive dysfunction in various neurological disorders. 4. **Neuroprotection**: PDE4A inhibitors have been shown to exhibit neuroprotective effects in various models of neurodegeneration, suggesting potential therapeutic applications for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. In conclusion, the PDE4A gene plays a critical role in regulating cellular signaling pathways and function in the brain. Its involvement in various physiological processes, including pain modulation, cognitive function, and neuroprotection, highlights its importance in maintaining normal brain function and preventing neurological disorders. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the functional significance of PDE4A and to explore its therapeutic potential in various clinical applications.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
