Primary Identifier | MGI:2446107 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 207728 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including 3',5'-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity; GAF domain binding activity; and cyclic nucleotide binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cGMP catabolic process; cellular response to mechanical stimulus; and negative regulation of cGMP-mediated signaling. Acts upstream of or within circulatory system development and regulation of nitric oxide mediated signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including mitochondrion; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PDE2A (phosphodiesterase 2A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit lethality between E17 and E18; another knock out mutation results in only some animals surviving to weaning age. [provided by MGI curators] |
