At least four types of the enzyme phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) are known:
*
PDE4A
*
PDE4B
*
PDE4C
*
PDE4D
cAMP-specific 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 4D is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ''PDE4D'' gene.
Function
The PDE4D gene is complex and has at least 9 different isoforms that encode functional proteins. These proteins degrade the s ...

Phosphodiesterase
A phosphodiesterase (PDE) is an enzyme that breaks a phosphodiester bond. Usually, ''phosphodiesterase'' refers to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, which have great clinical significance and are described below. However, there are many o ...
