Human Gene PLCG2 (ENST00000564138.6) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLCG2), mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_002661)
RefSeq Summary (NM_002661): The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane signaling enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate to 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) using calcium as a cofactor. IP3 and DAG are second messenger molecules important for transmitting signals from growth factor receptors and immune system receptors across the cell membrane. Mutations in this gene have been found in autoinflammation, antibody deficiency, and immune dysregulation syndrome and familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 3. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]. Sequence Note: This RefSeq record was created from transcript and genomic sequence data to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on transcript alignments.

  ID: PLCG2_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=1-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase gamma-2; EC=3.1.4.11; AltName: Full=Phosphoinositide phospholipase C-gamma-2; AltName: Full=Phospholipase C-IV; Short=PLC-IV; AltName: Full=Phospholipase C-gamma-2; Short=PLC-gamma-2;
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. It is a crucial enzyme in transmembrane signaling.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4,5- bisphosphate + H(2)O = 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate + diacylglycerol.
COFACTOR: Calcium.
SUBUNIT: Interacts (via SH2 domain) with CSF1R (tyrosine phosphorylated) (By similarity).
INTERACTION: P19235:EPOR; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-617403, EBI-617321;
PTM: Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by CSF1R (By similarity). Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by BTK and SYK; upon ligand- induced activation of a variety of growth factor receptors and immune system receptors. Phosphorylation leads to increased phospholipase activity.
DISEASE: Defects in PLCG2 are the cause of familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome type 3 (FCAS3) [MIM:614468]. An autosomal dominant immune disorder characterized by the development of cutaneous urticaria, erythema, and pruritis in response to cold exposure. Affected individuals have variable additional immunologic defects, including antibody deficiency, decreased numbers of B cells, defective B cells, increased susceptibility to infection, and increased risk of autoimmune disorders.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 C2 domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PH domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PI-PLC X-box domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PI-PLC Y-box domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 2 SH2 domains.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SH3 domain.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
