ABSTRACT:
The invention provides human cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE8) and polynucleotides which identify and encode PDE8. The invention also provides expression vectors, host cells, antibodies, agonists, and antagonists. The invention also provides methods for treating or preventing disorders associated with expression of PDE8.
