Mediates the production of the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). Plays an important role in the regulation of intracellular signaling cascades. Becomes activated in response to ligand- mediated activation of receptor-type tyrosine kinases, such as PDGFRA, PDGFRB, FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. Plays a role in actin reorganization and cell migration
Tissue Specificity
A synthetic peptide corresponding to phosphorylated residue surrounding tyrosine 1245 of human PLCγI was used.
Cellular Localization
Cell projection, lamellipodium. Cell projection, ruffle. Note=Rapidly redistributed to ruffles and lamellipodia structures in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF) treatment
