CYCLIC GMP-BINDING, CYCLIC GMP-SPECIFIC PHOSPHODIESTERASE MATERIALS AND METHODS

摘要

The present invention provides novel purified and isolated nucleotide sequences encoding the cGMP-binding, cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase designated cGB-PDE. Also provided by the invention are methods and materials for the recombinant production of cGB-PDE polypeptide products and methods for identifying compounds which modulate the enzymatic activity of cGB-PDE polypeptides.
