PDE6H Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 106 amino acids (1-83 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 11.5 kDa.
PDE6H is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
PDE6H belongs to the rod/cone cGMP-PDE gamma subunit family, which selectively catalyze the hydrolysis of 3 cyclic phosphate bonds in adenosine and/or guanine
3,5 cyclic monophosphate (cAMP and/or cGMP). This family regulates the cellular levels, localization and duration of action of these second messengers by controlling the rate of their degradation. PDE6H is the inhibitory (or gamma) subunit of the cone-specific cGMP phosphodiesterase, which is a tetramer composed of two catalytic chains (alpha and beta), and two inhibitory chains (gamma). PDE6H is particularly expressed in the retina, and is implicated in the transmission and amplification of the visual signal. Mutations in PDE6H have been associated with retinal cone dystrophy type 3A.
