Abstract
The synthesis and degradation of lipid phosphoinositides are fundamental in mediating signal transduction. Some of the most well studied phosphoinositide metabolising enzymes are the phospholipase C (PLC) family, which can hydrolyse the lipid phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PIP2) into the signalling molecules inositol trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol [1]. There are multiple isoforms of the PLC family that are variably expressed in different cells/tissues, with each able to be activated downstream of a unique subset of cell surface receptors, including G-protein coupled receptors and tyrosine phosphorylated receptors. Recent years have revealed the myriad roles of a specific class of PLCs (PLCĪ³, encoded by the genes PLCG1 and PLCG2) in various human pathologies, including cancer [2,3], neurodegeneration [4], and immune disorders [5].
