First sentence: Cellular levels of cyclic adenosine 3',5' -monophosphate (cAMP) and guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) are determined by the relative activities of adenylyl and guanylyl cyclases, which catalyze their synthesis, and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs), which hydrolyze them to the respective 5'-nucleoside monophosphates.
