PDE3A (cGMP-inhibited 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 3A) is an enzyme. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, and an approved or late-stage drug is recorded against it. Tied to Myeloproliferative neoplasms and Essential thrombocythaemia. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase with specificity for the second messengers cAMP and cGMP, which are key regulators of many important physiological processes. Also has activity toward cUMP. Independently of its catalytic activity it is part of an E2/17beta-estradiol-induced pro-apoptotic signalling pathway. E2 stabilises the PDE3A/SLFN12 complex in the cytosol, promoting the dephosphorylation of SLFN12 and activating its pro-apoptotic ribosomal RNA/rRNA ribonuclease activity. This apoptotic pathway might be relevant in tissues with high concentration of E2 and be for instance involved in placenta remodeling. Location: Membrane; Cytoplasm, cytosol (UniProt). Locus 12p12.2 (HGNC).
