Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 218461 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 3',5'-cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral fear response; learning; and negative regulation of steroid hormone biosynthetic process. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; hindlimb digit; metanephros; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease 3. Orthologous to human PDE8B (phosphodiesterase 8B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased uring corticosterone, decreased serum adrenocorticotropin and decreased sensitivity to a PDE8-selective inhibitor.
