  • localizes to synaptosomal membranes
  • with GUCA1A are coexpressed in the same population of the olfactory sensory neurons
  • presence of GUCY2D, GUCA1A, and PDE2A predominant in the cilia, yet to a lesser degree, they are also present in other regions of the olfactory neurons
  • basic FUNCTION
  • having 3',5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity
  • hydrolyzing both cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cyclic GMP (cGMP)
  • potentially TNF-alpha-mediated up-regulation of PDE2A may destabilize endothelial barrier function in sepsis
  • regulates the basal cGMP concentration in thalamic neurons
  • promotes activation of NADPH oxidase-dependent ROS production and subsequent endothelial proliferation and angiogenesis
  • plays a fundamental role in signal transduction
  • plays a major role in regulating dopamine-stimulated cAMP production in striatal neurons
  • preferential distribution of PDE2A into axons and terminals of the principal neurons suggests roles in regulation of axonal excitability or transmitter release
  • PDE2A serves likely as the downstream transducer of cGMP signals produced by NPR1 activation
  • PDE2A performs likely the important function of regulating neurotransmitter release by negatively linking cGMP signals to the cAMP pathway
  • appears to play an important role in growth and invasion of the human malignant melanoma PMP cell line
  • exerts its action on cognitive processes via the control of intracellular second messengers, cGMP and, to a lesser extent, cAMP

  • PDE2A plays an essential role in the NPPA effect on synaptic transmission
  • interaction with over-expressed AIP does not seem to affect PDE2A function, but the reported effect on PDE4A is, in contrast, reduced enzymatic activity

    REGULATION
    Other inhibition of PDE2A, by enhancing the hormone-dependent cAMP response locally, affects mitochondria dynamics and protects from apoptotic cell death
