OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the cGMP-inhibited cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE) family. cGI-PDE enzymes hydrolyze both cAMP and cGMP, and play critical roles in many cellular processes by regulating the amplitude and duration of intracellular cyclic nucleotide signals. The encoded protein mediates platelet aggregation and also plays important roles in cardiovascular function by regulating vascular smooth muscle contraction and relaxation. Inhibitors of the encoded protein may be effective in treating congestive heart failure. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against PDE3A can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PDE3A as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PDE3A could matter depends on whether native PDE3A is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PDE3A is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PDE3A as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
