Identification of a novel class of mammalian phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes.

Phospholipase C-eta enzymes as putative protein kinase C and Ca2+ signalling components in neuronal and neuroendocrine tissues.

Phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes (PLCs) are central to inositol lipid signalling pathways, facilitating intracellular Ca2+ release and protein kinase C activation. A sixth class of phosphoinositol-specific PLC with a novel domain structure, PLC-eta (PLCeta) has recently been discovered in mammals. Recent research, reviewed here, shows that this class consists of two enzymes, PLC...

Supernatants From Human Osteosarcoma Cultured Cell Lines Induce Modifications in Growth and Differentiation of THP-1 Cells and Phosphoinositide- Specific Phospholipase C Enzymes

Introduction: Introduction: Molecular components within the microenvironment act upon cell growth, survival/apoptosis, and proliferation. Immune system cells respond to molecules produced by the tumor and released in the surrounding microenvironment, such as cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. This study aimed to identify the effects of tumor environment on monocyte-macrophage cell linea...

HIP-70: an isoform of phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase C-alpha.

Phosphatidylinositol phosphodiesterase in higher plants.

1. The lower regions of the stem of celery (Apium graveolens L.) contain a soluble enzyme that hydrolyses phosphatidylinositol. 2. The lipoidal product of hydrolysis is diacylglycerol, and the water-soluble products are 1:2-cyclic phosphoinositol and phosphoinositol in the approximate proportions of 60% and 40% respectively: this indicates that a phosphodiesterase (phospholipase C-like) activit...
