Involvement of Phosphodiesterase Isozymes in Osteoclast Formation
초록
cAMP acts as a second messenger in the functional responses of various cells to hormones, cytokines and other agents. In turn, this nucleotide also modulates the signal transduction processes regulated by a range of cytokines and growth factors. The intracellular level of cAMP is regulated by a G protein coupled adenylyl cyclase and degradation is mediated by the phosphodiesterases (PDEs), a superfamily of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of cAMP.
