About PLCB2

Cytogenetic location: 15q15.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 15:40,284,256-40,307,935 (from NCBI)

This gene has 15 transcripts (splice variants), 219 orthologues and 14 paralogues. Broad expression in spleen (RPKM 26.9), bone marrow (RPKM 19.8) and 17 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a phosphodiesterase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to the second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol. The encoded protein is activated by G proteins and has been shown to be involved in the type 2 taste receptor signal transduction pathway. In addition, nuclear factor kappa B can regulate the transcription of this gene, whose protein product is also an important regulator of platelet responses. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]
