    FAMILY
  • phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C family
  • CATEGORY enzyme
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
    basic FUNCTION
  • catalyzing the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5 biphosphate to generate diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5 triphosphate
  • mediating a wide variety of cellular stimuli
  • signaling of phospholipase C beta 4 is not essential for the survival of midbrain dopaminergic neurons
  • in the medial septum is involved in controlling cholinergic theta oscillation and cholinergic theta rhythm plays a critical role in suppressing anxiety
  • significant contribution of PSMD3-CSF3 and PLCB4 loci to the regulation of neutrophil count
  • PLCB4 and GNAI3 are core signaling molecules of the endothelin-1-distal-less homeobox 5 and 6 (EDN1-DLX5/DLX6) pathway
