Use of the KlADH3 promoter for the quantitative production of the murine PDE5A isoforms in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis
Background: Phosphodiesterases (PDE) are a superfamily of enzymes that hydrolyse cyclic nucleotides (cAMP/
cGMP), signal molecules in transduction pathways regulating crucial aspects of cell life. PDEs regulate the intensity
and duration of the cyclic nucleotides signal modulating the downstream biological efect. Due to this critical role
associated with the extensive distribution and multiplicity of isozymes, the 11 mammalian families (PDE1 to PDE11)
