PLC γ2 (R747) polyclonal antibody

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) plays a crucial role in the initiation of receptor mediated signal transduction through the generation of the two second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate and diacylglycerol from phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. There are many mammalian PLC isozymes, including PLC β1, PLC β2, PLC β3, PLC β4, PLCγ1, PLCγ2, PLC δ1, PLC δ2 and PLCe. PLCδ exists as four different isoforms. PLC δ1, a calcium signal amplifier, is activated by an atypical GTP-binding protein. In addition, PLC δ1 is an effector for GTP-binding protein transglutaminase II-mediated oxytocin receptor and α1B-adrenoreceptor signaling. Mouse PLC δ1 is highly expressed in brain, heart, lung and testis.
