Plch1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable calcium-dependent phospholipase C activity and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity. Predicted to be involved in phosphatidylinositol metabolic process; phosphatidylinositol-mediated signaling; and release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol. Located in cytosol and membrane. Is expressed in intestine; musculoskeletal system; nervous system; and neural retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in holoprosencephaly. Orthologous to human PLCH1 (phospholipase C eta 1). [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 Plch1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
