PLCB1 (phospholipase C, beta 1 (phosphoinositide-specific))

PLCB 1 ( phospholipase C , beta 1 ( phosphoinositide - specific ) )

Regulation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C.

The receptors involved in the regulation of phospholipase C by hormones, neurotransmitters and other ligands have seven transmembrane-spanning hydrophobic regions (seven-helix motif) and no known enzymatic activity. Furthermore these receptors can be isolated as complexes with guanine nucleotide binding (G) proteins. Guanine nucleotides affect the binding of hormones that stimulate phospholipas...

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C and mitogenic signaling.

The importance of PLC activation in cell proliferation is evident from the fact that the hydrolysis of PtdIns(4,5)P2 is one of the early events that follow the interaction of many growth factors and mitogens with their respective receptors. However, the importance of PLC activation is not restricted to proliferation; it is one of the most common transmembrane signaling events elicited by recept...

Structure, function, and control of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C.

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) subtypes beta, gamma, and delta comprise a related group of multidomain phosphodiesterases that cleave the polar head groups from inositol lipids. Activated by all classes of cell surface receptor, these enzymes generate the ubiquitous second messengers inositol 1,4, 5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol. The last 5 years have seen remarkable advance...

Characterization of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C in rat colonocyte membranes.

The phosphoinositide signal transduction pathway mediates important processes in intestinal physiology, yet the key enzyme, phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC), is not well-characterized in the colon. PI-PLC activity was examined in rat colonic membranes using exogenous [3H]phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) as substrate, and beta-glycerophosphate to suppress degradatio...
