additional information | generation of PDE8B KO mice, that show elevated levels of urinary corticosterone in both basal and stressed conditions compared with their littermate wild-type controls | Mus musculus |

dipyridamole | inhibits PDE8 at high concentrations | Mus musculus | |
additional information | unlike other cAMP-specific PDEs, PDE8s are insensitive to a common nonselective PDE inhibitor, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX), but ca be inhibited by a high concentration of dipyridamole | Mus musculus | |
PF-04957325 | a selective PDE8 inhibitor | Mus musculus |

malfunction | PDE8B KO mice have elevated levels of urinary corticosterone in both basal and stressed conditions compared with their littermate wild-type controls. PDE8B KO mice exhibit adrenal hypersensitivity toward adrenocorticotropin. PDE8B gene ablation increases mRNA expressions of StAR protein and MC2R | Mus musculus |
physiological function | importance of PDE8s in cAMP regulation of steroid production. PDE8A plays an important role in regulating a pool of cAMP that promotes testicular steroidogenesis. PDE8B regulates adrenocorticotropin-stimulated AZF steroidogenesis by both short- and long-term mechanisms | Mus musculus |
