Biological function summary
PLC-gamma-1 is integral in signal transduction and is an important player in the immune response. The protein does not function as part of a large multi-protein complex but interacts transiently with other signaling molecules. It acts downstream of growth factor receptors and immunoreceptors by mediating calcium release and activation of protein kinase C influencing cell proliferation migration and differentiation. Its expression pattern suggests a critical role in the nervous and immune systems affecting learning memory and immune defense.
Pathways
PLC-gamma-1 is an important component in both the phospholipase C and PLC-gamma pathways. These pathways include important interactions with proteins such as the receptor tyrosine kinases and Src family kinases. In these pathways PLC-gamma-1 modulates signals that guide cellular responses to external stimuli affecting processes like growth signaling and T-cell receptor activation which is vital in adaptive immunity.
