1-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase epsilon-1

UniProtKB accession:  Q9P212

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  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. PLCE1 is a bifunctional enzyme which also regulates small GTPases of the Ras superfamily through its Ras guanine-exchange factor (RasGEF) activity. As an effector of heterotrimeric and small G-protein, it may play a role in cell survival, cell growth, actin organization and T-cell activation. In podocytes, is involved in the regulation of lamellipodia formation. Acts downstream of AVIL to allow ARP2/3 complex assembly (PubMed:29058690).
