Plce1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and Ras protein signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytosol; lamellipodium; and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gastric adenocarcinoma; nephrotic syndrome; nephrotic syndrome type 2; and nephrotic syndrome type 3. Orthologous to human PLCE1 (phospholipase C epsilon 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 Plce1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
