| Gene Name | PDE5A | ||||||||
| Uniprot ID | PDE5A_HUMAN | ||||||||
| KEGG Pathway | hsa:8654 | ||||||||
| Protein Family | Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
Plays a role in signal transduction by regulating the intracellular concentration of cyclic nucleotides. This phosphodiesterase catalyzes the specific hydrolysis of cGMP to 5'-GMP (PubMed:9714779, PubMed:15489334). Specifically regulates nitric-oxide-generated cGMP (PubMed:15489334).

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | Caution is advised if PDE5 inhibitors are prescribed in combination with antihypertensive agents. Patients receiving the combination should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position, especially following treatment initiation or a dosage increase, and to contact their doctor if they experience symptoms of hypotension such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or tachycardia. | ||||||||
