Product name:PHOSPHODIESTERASE
Product description:A phosphodiesterase is any enzyme that breaks a phosphodiester bond. Usually, people speaking of phosphodiesterase are referring to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, which have great clinical significance and are described below. However, there are many other families of phosphodiesterases, including phospholipases C and D, autotaxin, sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, DNases, RNases, and restriction endonucleases (which all break the phosphodiester backbone of DNA or RNA), as well as numerous less-well-characterized small-molecule phosphodiesterases.The PDE superfamily of enzymes is classified into 11 families, namely PDE1-PDE11, in mammals. Different PDEs of the same family are functionally related despite the fact that their amino acid sequences can show considerable divergence.
