Background
This gene encodes a phospholipase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate to generate two second messengers: inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG). These second messengers subsequently regulate various processes affecting cell growth, differentiation, and gene expression. This enzyme is regulated by small monomeric GTPases of the Ras and Rho families and by heterotrimeric G proteins. In addition to its phospholipase C catalytic activity, this enzyme has an N-terminal domain with guanine nucleotide exchange (GEF) activity. Mutations in this gene cause early-onset nephrotic syndrome; characterized by proteinuria, edema, and diffuse mesangial sclerosis or focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009],
Function
catalytic activity:1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate + H(2)O = 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate + diacylglycerol.,cofactor:Calcium.,disease:Defects in PLCE1 are the cause of nephrotic syndrome type 3 (NPHS3) [MIM:610725]; also called early-onset nephrotic syndrome type 3. Nephrotic syndrome, a malfunction of the kidney glomerular filter, leads to proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema. End-stage kidney disease is observed in steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome.,domain:The Ras-associating domain 1 is degenerated and may not bind HRAS. The Ras-associating domain 2 mediates interaction with GTP-bound HRAS, RAP1A, RAP2A and RAP2B and recruitment of HRAS to the cell membrane.,domain:The Ras-GEF domain has a GEF activity towards HRAS and RAP1A. Mediates activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.,enzyme regulation:Activated by the heterotrimeric G-protein subunit
