  • largely associated with mitochondria
  • basic FUNCTION
  • may would be involved in signal transduction
  • is a novel cardiac phosphodiesterases that controls one or more pools of cAMP implicated in regulation of Ca(2+) movement through cardiomyocyte
  • potential role for PDE8A in cAMP signaling related to pain transmission, motor function, cognition and olfaction
  • PDE8A supports HIV-1 replication in macrophages and that this effect is mediated at the level of reverse transcription
  • cyclic nucleotide PDEs play important role in the achievement of meiotic competency by reducing intraoocyte cyclic nucleotides level in mammalian oocytes
  • regulates T cell motility
  • exerts part of its control of T cell function through RAF1 kinase signaling pathway
  • controls CD4+ T cell motility through the PDE8A-Raf-1 kinase signaling complex

    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
  • PDE8A is a physiological regulator of RAF1 signaling in some cells
