Function

The production of the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is mediated by activated phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes. PLCE1 is a bifunctional enzyme which also regulates small GTPases of the Ras superfamily through its Ras guanine- exchange factor (RasGEF) activity. As an effector of heterotrimeric and small G-protein, it may play a role in cell survival, cell growth, actin organization and T-cell activation. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11022047, ECO:0000269PubMed:11395506, ECO:0000269PubMed:11715024, ECO:0000269PubMed:11877431, ECO:0000269PubMed:12721365, ECO:0000269PubMed:16537651, ECO:0000269PubMed:17086182}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm, cytosol. Cell membrane. Golgi apparatus membrane. Note=Recruited to plasma membrane by activated HRAS and RAP2. Recruited to perinuclear membrane by activated RAP1A. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 associates with Golgi membranes.

Disease Associations

Nephrotic syndrome 3 (NPHS3) [MIM:610725]: A form of nephrotic syndrome, a renal disease clinically characterized by severe proteinuria, resulting in complications such as hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia and edema. Kidney biopsies show non-specific histologic changes such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and diffuse mesangial proliferation. Some affected individuals have an inherited steroid-resistant form and progress to end-stage renal failure. Most patients with NPHS3 show diffuse mesangial sclerosis on renal biopsy, which is a pathologic entity characterized by mesangial matrix expansion with no mesangial hypercellularity, hypertrophy of the podocytes, vacuolized podocytes, thickened basement membranes, and diminished patency of the capillary lumen. {ECO:0000269PubMed:17086182}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. Isoform 1 is broadly expressed and only absent in peripheral blood leukocytes. Isoform 2 is specifically expressed in placenta, lung and spleen. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11022047, ECO:0000269PubMed:11022048, ECO:0000269PubMed:15558028}.
