| Function |
Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11566027, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17727341}.

| Subcellular Location |
Isoform 7: Cytoplasm. Membrane. Note=Predominantly cytoplasmic.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Isoform 1 is widely expressed. Isoform 2 is abundant in liver, stomach, testis, thyroid and adrenal glands. It is also found in placenta, kidney, pancreas, ovary, uterus, skin, monocytes, mast cells, macrophages, as well as in bronchial smooth muscle. Isoform 6 is expressed at high levels in the heart and small intestine. It is also found in the brain, kidney, spleen, colon, salivary gland, ovary and peripheral blood lymphocytes. Isoform 7 is expressed predominantly in skeletal muscle and brain and at lower levels in the testis. Isoform 7 is expressed in the brain. Found in specific neuronal subpopulations in cortex, spinal cord and cerebellum (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11306681, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15738310, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18095939}.
