| Function |
Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes. May be involved in maintaining basal levels of the cyclic nucleotide and/or in the cAMP regulation of germ cell development. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18983167}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in most tissues except thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. Highest levels in testis, ovary, small intestine and colon.
