A mere 21 human phosphodiesterase (PDE) genes are responsible for modulating cellular levels of cAMP and cGMP in response to stimuli. Considering the importance of cAMP and cGMP to disparate physiological functions including visual response, smooth muscle relaxation, platelet aggregation, immune response, and cardiac contractibility, perhaps the 200 or more splice isoforms of PDE genes also play a major functional role. We profiled the human PDEs across 25 tissue samples using splice sensitive o ...[more]
