Gene: PDE8A
Official Full Name: phosphodiesterase 8Aprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) family, and PDE8 subfamily. This PDE hydrolyzes the second messenger, cAMP, which is a regulator and mediator of a number of cellular responses to extracellular signals. Thus, by regulating the cellular concentration of cAMP, this protein plays a key role in many important physiological processes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]

PDE8A Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cellular models designed to specifically eliminate the expression of the phosphodiesterase 8A (PDE8A) gene. These cell lines are invaluable tools for investigating the role of PDE8A in various physiological and pathological contexts. The absence of this gene allows researchers to explore the function of its protein product, which is known to regulate intracellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP), thereby influencing multiple signal transduction pathways crucial for cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis.
The key function of PDE8A involves its enzymatic activity, which hydrolyzes cAMP, playing a critical role in modulating cellular responses to external stimuli. By utilizing PDE8A knockout models, researchers can dissect the implications of altered cAMP signaling in disease mechanisms such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. This provides a deeper understanding of how disruptions in this pathway can lead to pathological states.
The scientific importance of PDE8A Knockout Cell Lines extends to both basic research and clinical applications. In translational research, these models are vital for drug screening and the development of targeted therapies that modulate cAMP levels. Moreover, understanding PDE8A’s role may lead to novel therapeutic strategies for diseases where cAMP dysregulation is a contributing factor.
