hPDE1B HEK293

Product Description
Recombinant HEK293 cell line expressing human PDE1B (phosphodiesterase 1B ,
accession number NM_000924).

Format
Each vial contains 1 X 10^6 cells in 1 ml of 10% DMSO.

Introduction
PDE1B plays a role in signal transduction by regulating the intracellular concentration of
cyclic nucleotides. PDE1B hydrolyzes both cAMP and cGMP to nucleoside 5'-
monophosphate. Although it prefers cGMP at low substrate levels it has a Vmax that is
approximately equal for both cGMP and cAMP (Polli JW and Koncaid RL, 1994; Yu J.
et al., 1997).
