Abstract

Recombinant human phosphodiesterase type IVC is described, and DNA coding for it. Particular conformers of the enzyme are identified, including a R- and S-rolipram stereoselective conformer which is obtainable by expression of human phosphodiesterase type IVC DNA in mammalian or insect cells. The recombinant enzyme may be used in a screen to select a compound capable of modulating the action of the enzyme, or as an immunogen to generate an antibody.
