Requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity [2]. This enzyme is specific for 3′,5′-cAMP and does not hydrolyse other nucleoside 3′,5′-cyclic phosphates such as cGMP (cf. EC 3.1.4.17, 3,5-cyclic-nucleotide phosphodiesterase and EC 3.1.4.35, 3,5-cyclic-GMP phosphodiesterase). It is involved in modulation of the levels of cAMP, which is a mediator in the processes of cell transformation and proliferation [3]. |
