Other Names | High affinity cAMP-specific and IBMX-insensitive 3', 5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 8A, PDE8A |
Target/Specificity | This PDE8A antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 557-587 amino acids from the Central region of human PDE8A. |
Dilution | WB~~1:1000 IHC-P~~1:50 |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | PDE8A Antibody (Center) (L572) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | PDE8A |
---|---|
Function | Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes (PubMed:18983167). May be involved in maintaining basal levels of the cyclic nucleotide and/or in the cAMP regulation of germ cell development (PubMed:18983167). Binding to RAF1 reduces RAF1 'Ser-259' inhibitory- phosphorylation and stimulates RAF1-dependent EGF-activated ERK- signaling (PubMed:23509299). Protects against cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide and staurosporine (PubMed:23509299). |
Tissue Location | Expressed in most tissues except thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. Highest levels in testis, ovary, small intestine and colon |

Background
PDE8A plays a role in signal transduction by regulating the intracellular concentration of cyclic nucleotides. This phosphodiesterase, which has a high affinity for cAMP, may be involved in maintaining basal levels of the cyclic nucleotide and/or in the cAMP regulation of germ cell development.
