Human PDE8B wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 5q13.3 and is approximately 219 kb in length. This allele, which encodes high affinity cAMP-specific and IBMX-insensitive 3\',5\'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 8B protein, is involved in second messenger metabolism. Mutation of the gene is associated with both autosomal dominant striatal degeneration and primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease 3.
