Plcg2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity and phosphorylation-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including immune response-activating signaling pathway; positive regulation of cytokine production; and response to fungus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activation of store-operated calcium channel activity; follicular B cell differentiation; and regulation of calcium-mediated signaling. Located in cytosol and membrane raft. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; bone; cardiovascular system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoinflammation, antibody deficiency, and immune dysregulation syndrome and familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 3. Orthologous to human PLCG2 (phospholipase C gamma 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Plcg2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
