Application

Phospholipase C (PLC) is used to study adrenoceptor-mediated transmembrane signaling. It is used to degrade inositol-containing phospholipids. Phospholipase C from Bacillus, product P6621, has been used to study how flhF affects the export of PLC and other secretory virulence factors.
The enzyme from Sigma has been used in the digestion of phosphatidylserine fraction of Schistosoma mansoni adult worms.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Hydrolyzes the phosphate bond on phosphatidylcholine and other glycerophospholipids yielding diacylglycerol; this enzyme will also hydrolyze the phosphate bonds of sphingomyelin, cardiolipin, choline plasmalogen and ceramide phospholipids.
Phospholipase C is induced by thrombin and platelet-activating factor, forming 1,2-diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid. PLC hydrolyzes the phosphate bond on phosphatidylcholine and other glycerophospholipids yielding diacylglycerol; this enzyme will also hydrolyze the phosphate bonds of sphingomyelin, cardiolipin, choline plasmalogen and ceramide phospholipids.

The present study compares the molecular mechanism by which thrombin, platelet-activating factor, and epinephrine induce platelet activation. Thrombin and platelet-activating factor induce an initial activation of phospholipase C, as measured by formation of 1,2-diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid, during platelet shape

Schistosome infections are characterized by prominent T cell hyporesponsiveness during the chronic stage of infection. We found that schistosome-specific phosphatidylserine (PS) activated TLR2 and affected dendritic cells such that mature dendritic cells gained the ability to induce the development of

Flagellar arrangement is a highly conserved feature within bacterial species. However, only a few genes regulating cell flagellation have been described in polar flagellate bacteria. This report demonstrates that the arrangement of flagella in the peritrichous flagellate Bacillus cereus is

Our studies on the alpha 1-adrenoceptor signaling have demonstrated that the Gh family is a signal mediator. We report here that a 69-kDa phospholipase C (PLC) is the effector in this signal pathway. The enzyme was isolated by dissociating a
