Plcg1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables glutamate receptor binding activity; phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity; and receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity. Involved in modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within T cell receptor signaling pathway and in utero embryonic development. Located in cell-cell junction. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human PLCG1 (phospholipase C gamma 1).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Plcg1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
