The genes coding for the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PD) and the PD inhibitory glycoprotein (PDI) have been cloned and characterized. The PDI gene was isolated as a 1.6 kb genomic fragment, which included the coding sequence containing two small introns and 51 0 nucleotides of non-translate

## Abstract The activity of phosphodiesterases (PDEs) is associated with a wide variety of diseases and an intense effort toward the development of specific PDEs inhibitors has been generated for the last years. They are the enzymes responsible for the hydrolysis of intracellular cyclic adenosine a
Cyclic 3',5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase, which was originally purified from beef heart (1)) has since been reported to occur in the soluble fraction from a variety of tissues (2-5). In view of the widespread interest in the role of these phosphodiesterases in cyclic nucleotide metabolism, and the
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (CNP) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) are useful markers of myelin and astroglia, respectively. Two proteins with CNP activity are known to exist in brain and lymphoid tissues. They appear to be the products of several distinct but related messenger rib
