背景信息：
The cGMP specific phosphodiesterase type 5A (PDE5A) family is comprised of 2 genes (PDE5A and PDE5B) each with multiple splice variants generated by RNA splicing and use of alternate initiation sites. The PDE5 is highly expressed in aorta and lungs, intestine, kidney adrenal gland cerebellum and cerebrum. In cerebellum the PDE5 is highly expressed during neonatal development in Purkinge cells layer. The PDE5 is also abundant in vascular smooth muscle regulating cGMP levels and vascular smooth muscle tonicity. In corpus cavernosum inhibition of PDE5 by sildenafil corrects erectile dysfunctions. The nitric oxide donor sodium notropurside (SNP) stimulate PDE5 activity by cGMP dependent kinase phosphorylation. PDE5A1 has 875 amino acids (99.5 kDa). The amino terminal 142 amino acid of the PDE5 gene showed no sequence homology with other PDEs and also contained serine 92 that is phosphorylated by cGMP kinases.
