Gene Information

human ... PDE6A(5145)

General description

PDE6A encodes the cyclic-GMP (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase 6A and is expressed in cells of the retinal rod outer segment. The phosphodiesterase 6 holoenzyme is a heterotrimer composed of an alpha, beta, and two gamma subunits. cGMP is an important regulator of rod cell membrane current, and its dynamic concentration is established by phosphodiesterase 6A cGMP hydrolysis and guanylate cyclase cGMP synthesis. The protein is a subunit of a key phototransduction enzyme and participates in processes of transmission and amplification of the visual signal. Mutations in this gene have been identified as one cause of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa.

In the inherited degenerative retinal disease of the rd mouse, rod cGMP levels rise above normal due to depressed cGMP-phosphodiesterase (cGMP-PDE) function a few days before degeneration begins. The subnormal activity of the cGMP-PDE may be due to a lesion

Defects in proteins that function in photoreceptor signal transduction are prime suspects as causes of some human hereditary retinal degenerations. We have characterized cDNA clones encoding the alpha-subunit of human and bovine rod cell cGMP phosphodiesterase a key phototransduction enzyme.
