Plcl2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable GABA receptor binding activity and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity. Involved in negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including B cell activation; gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathway; and negative regulation of B cell receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PLCL2 (phospholipase C like 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 Plcl2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
