Scientific Background: PDE10A is a member of the phosphodiesterase family of proteins that play a critical role in regulating intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP (1). PDE10A eliminates cAMP- and cGMP-mediated intracellular signaling by hydrolyzing the cyclic nucleotide to the corresponding nucleoside 5-prime monophosphate. PDE10A hydrolyzes cAMP and cGMP in transfected COS-7 cells (2). PDE10A has a 11-fold higher affinity for cGMP than cAMP and cAMP can efficiently inhibit cGMP phosphodiesterase activity of PDE10A. PDE10A is being used as a biomarker in clinical trials of gene-disease association and gene-environment interaction.
