Gene information for PLCB4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5332
Official gene symbolPLCB4
Full namephospholipase C, beta 4
Aliases,FLJ16169,PI-PLC,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and diacylglycerol from phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. This reaction uses calcium as a cofactor and plays an important role in the intracellular transduction of many extracellular signals in the retina. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
