Aims: Phosphodiesterase 2 A (Pde2A), a cAMP-hydrolysing enzyme, is essential for mouse development; however, the cause of Pde2A knockout embryonic lethality is unknown. To understand whether Pde2A plays a role in cardiac development, hearts of Pde2A deficient embryos were analysed at different stage of development. Methods and results: At the stage of four chambers, Pde2A deficient hearts were enlarged compared...
