Description
Phospholipase C is induced by thrombin and platelet-activating factor, forming 1,2-diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid. PLC hydrolyzes the phosphate bond on phosphatidylcholine and other glycerophospholipids yielding diacylglycerol; this enzyme will also hydrolyze the phosphate bonds of sphingomyelin, cardiolipin, choline plasmalogen and ceramide phospholipids.
Abbr
PLC, Native (Bacillus cereus)
Applications
Phospholipase C (PLC) is used to study adren oceptor-mediated transmembrane signaling. It is used to degrade inositol-containing phospholipids. Phospholipase C from Bacillus has been used to study how flhF affects the export of PLC and other secretory virulence factors. The enzyme from Creative Enzymes has been used in the digestion of phosphatidylserine fraction of Schistosoma mansoni adult worms.
