PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a N-terminal regulatory domain
	a conserved C-terminal catalytic region
	one PAS (per-arnt-sim) dimerization domain

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	PDE8 family
	cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family

CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
text	PDE8B is broadly distributed in the cytosol

basic FUNCTION	c-AMP phosphodiesterase, playing a role in signal transduction by regulating the intracellular concentration of cyclic nucleotides
	degrades cyclic AMP, a second messenger implied in dopamine signaling
	could play an important role in the regulation of neuronal function, especially in the striatum
	is a major regulator of one or more pools of cAMP that promote steroidogenesis via both short- and long-term mechanisms
	CAPZB and PDE8B have been linked to TSH levels
	is a regulator of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) with important influence on human thyroid metabolism
	cyclic nucleotide PDEs play important role in the achievement of meiotic competency by reducing intraoocyte cyclic nucleotides level in mammalian oocytes
	modulate likely thyroid physiology that may influence the manifestation of thyroid disease

protein

both PDE8A and PDE8B play essential roles to maintain low cAMP levels, thereby suppressing resting steroidogenesis by keeping cholesterol-ester hydrolase (CEH)/hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) inactive and STAR protein expression low

Susceptibility

to variation of thyroid function and TSH levels to subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) in pregnant women to recurrent miscarriage

Variant & Polymorphism SNP , other	associated with serum TSH levels and thyroid function
	genetic variation of the PDE8B gene may be involved in the etiology of SCH in pregnant women
	rs4704397 in the PDE8B gene has been shown to be associated with variations in serum Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) and thyroxine (T4) levels
	association between homozygous A/A as well as homozygous G/G carriers of SNP rs 4704397 in PDE8B and recurrent miscarriage
