MeSH definition : A subclass of phospholipases that hydrolyze the phosphoester bond found in the third
position of GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS. Although the singular term phospholipase C specifically
refers to an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (EC 3.1.4.3),
it is commonly used in the literature to refer to broad variety of enzymes that specifically
catalyze the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOLS.;
MeSH synonym : phospholipases, type c; phospholipases c;
