Did you mean Phosphodiesterase?

GlossaryPhosphodiesterase

enzyme that breaks down cyclic nucleotides in cells

Phosphodiesterase (PDE) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in cellular signaling by breaking down cyclic nucleotides like cAMP and cGMP, which are molecules that transmit signals inside cells. By regulating the levels of these cyclic nucleotides, PDEs help control various physiological processes, including heart rate, inflammation, and even hair growth.
