Phospholipase-C Gamma-2 Definition

Encoded by human PLCG2 Gene, 1265-aa 148-kDa Phospholipase C Gamma 2 is a crucial enzyme that generates DAG and IP3 second messengers in the transmembrane signaling of ligand-activated growth factor receptors. Containing a PI-PLC X-box catalytic domain, a PI-PLC Y-box catalytic domain, a C2 domain, a PH domain, 2 SH2 domains, and an SH3 domain, PLCG2 phospholipase activity increases upon phosphorylation on tyrosine residues following activation of growth factor and immune system receptors.
