contain one or more GAF (cGMP-binding phosphodiesterase)
inhibitory effect of the N-terminal region on the affinity of the catalytic domain for both substrates and inhibitors and the first to define the quaternary structure and the regions that contribute to this structure within the human PDE11A family

motifs/domains
N terminal GAF domain of the cytochrome C pseudogene, that vary in length and amino acid sequence, a tandem of so-called GAF domains in its N-terminal regulatory regions
a GAF domain
a conserved C-terminal catalytic domain that hydrolyzes cAMP and cGMP
dual-specificity phosphodiesterase that binds both cAMP and cGMP that is expressed in adrenal cortex
predispose to a variety of lesions (beyond micronodular adrenocortical hyperplasia) and may contribute to the development of these tumors in the general population
may have a role in the pain pathway of migraine as well as trigeminal neuralgia and trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias
plays a significant role in regulating brain function
genetic modifying factor for the development of testicular and adrenal tumors in patients with germline PRKAR1A mutation
of PDE11A4 in adrenocortical hyperplasia and Cushing syndrome, and patients with micronodular adrenocortical hyperplasia

Variant & Polymorphism
other
variants in a subset of acromegalic patients, which was only slightly more frequent than in control (variants might only marginally contribute to the development of somatotropinomas)
PDE11A-inactivating genetic alterations may play a role in susceptibility to prostatic cancer
