Phospholipase C beta 3/PLCB3

Function

Catalyzes the production of the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) (PubMed:20966218, PubMed:29122926, PubMed:37991948, PubMed:9188725). Key transducer of G protein-coupled receptor signaling: activated by G(q)/G(11) G alpha proteins downstream of G protein-coupled receptors activation (PubMed:20966218, PubMed:37991948). In neutrophils, participates in a phospholipase C-activating N-formyl peptide-activated GPCR (G protein-coupled receptor) signaling pathway by promoting RASGRP4 activation by DAG, to promote neutrophil functional responses (By similarity).
