Abstract excerpt
In mature sperm, cAMP plays an important role as a second messenger regulating functions that include capacitation, the acrosome reaction, motility, and, in some cases, chemosensing. We have cloned from mouse testis a novel calmodulin-stimulated cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 1A isoform, Pde1a_v7 (mmPDE1A7), which arises from an alternative transcription start in the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase 1A...
