    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
