Preferred Label : Phospholipase C Signaling Pathway;
Alternative definition : BIOCARTA: Phospholipase C comes in multiple forms and plays a key role in the signal
transduction process for many receptors. Its main function is to hydrolyze phosphatidylinositol
diphosphate into diacylglycerol (DG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3). DG is necessary
for further activation of Protein Kinase C while IP3 leads to the release of intracellular
calcium. (This definition may be outdated - see the DesignNote.);
