Plcb3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity. Involved in phospholipase C-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Is active in postsynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spondylometaphyseal dysplasia with corneal dystrophy. Orthologous to human PLCB3 (phospholipase C beta 3).

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 Plcb3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
