    basic FUNCTION
  • likely involved in signal transduction pathways (Stewart 2005)
  • phosphoinositide phospholipase C activity activated by G protein beta-1-gamma-2 dimers (Zhou 2005)
  • likely importance of PLCH2 in the formation and maintenance of the neuronal network in the postnatal brain
  • exhibited a dynamic expression pattern during postnatal retinal development, strongly suggesting that this isozyme might be involved in the development and maturation of the retina
  • may be involved in the function of habenula and retina
  • importance of the PLCH2 EF-hand domain and articulation of PLCH2 with LIMK1 in regulating neuritogenesis
