Phospholipase C

Phospholipase C (PLC) represents a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of PIP2 (phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate) to IP3 (inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate) and DAG (1,2-diacylglycerol). IP3 and DAG both have important second messenger functions.

    Phospholipase C (PLC) (E.C. 3.1.4.11) represents a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) to inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and 1,2-diacylglycerol (DAG). IP3 and DAG both have important second messenger functions.

    There are numerous subtypes of phospholipase C; PLCβ1-4, PLCγ1-2, PLCδ1-4, PLCε1, PLCζ1 and PLCη1-2, all which require Ca2+ ions for catalytic activity. PLC-β is primarily activated by Gq/11 proteins and PLC-γ is activated by tyrosine kinase-mediated phosphorylation in response to a variety of growth factor and immune system signals. PLCε represents a convergence of the 7-TM and receptor tyrosine kinase signaling pathways.
