cGMP-dependent 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase

Definition:

cGMP-activated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase with a dual-specificity for the second messengers cAMP and cGMP, which are key regulators of many important physiological processes. Has a higher efficiency with cGMP compared to cAMP. Plays a role in cell growth and migration.; [Isoform PDE2A2]: Regulates mitochondrial cAMP levels and respiration (By similarity). Involved in the regulation of mitochondria morphology/dynamics and apoptotic cell death via local modulation of cAMP/PKA signaling in the mitochondrion, including the monitoring of local cAMP levels at the outer mitochondrial membrane and of PKA-dependent phosphorylation of DNM1L.
