PDE10A
Remove ads

cAMP and cAMP-inhibited cGMP 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 10A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PDE10A gene.[5][6]

Quick Facts Available structures, PDB ...

Various cellular responses are regulated by the second messengers cAMP and cGMP. Phosphodiesterases, such as PDE10A, eliminate cAMP- and cGMP-mediated intracellular signaling by hydrolyzing the cyclic nucleotide to the corresponding nucleoside 5-prime monophosphate.[6][7]

Research

Preliminary evidence indicates a possible link between PDE10A expression and obesity in mice and humans.[14] PDE10A is a regulatory protein involved in the signaling of the striatum, a region of the brain important for controlling movement and cognition. Dysfunction of the striatum has been linked to the development of schizophrenia. Inhibition of PDE10A has been identified as a potential treatment for the disorder, and an inhibitor compound (MK-8189) is as of February 2023 in Phase 2b clinical development for the treatment of schizophrenia.[15]
