Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables 3',5'-cyclic-GMP phosphodiesterase activity. Involved in cGMP catabolic process and positive regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including nucleoplasm; perikaryon; and sarcolemma. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congestive heart failure. Orthologous to human PDE9A (phosphodiesterase 9A).
