Biological function summary

PDE10A modulates intracellular signaling pathways critical for neurological processes by controlling levels of cyclic nucleotides. Although PDE10A acts independently it interacts with various signaling molecules affecting neuronal signaling. It exerts significant influence over the dopamine and glutamate neurotransmitter systems important for regulating neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission.

Pathways

Several neurological pathways rely on the function of PDE10A to maintain homeostasis. The enzyme plays a role in the cAMP and cGMP signaling pathways both of which are fundamental in mediating various cellular responses. PDE10A shares functional relationships with other phosphodiesterase family members such as PDE1 and PDE2 which also regulate cyclic nucleotide levels in the central nervous system.
