Plcb1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables calcium ion binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glyceraldehyde; cellular response to ionomycin; and learning or memory. Predicted to be located in chromatin and nucleus. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including GABA-ergic synapse; nuclear speck; and postsynaptic cytosol. Biomarker of myocardial infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 12; and myelodysplastic syndrome. Orthologous to human PLCB1 (phospholipase C beta 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 rat Plcb1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
