Cloning of the Human Phospholipase C-γ1 Promoter and Identification of a DR6-type Vitamin D-responsive Element [PDF]
The 5'-flanking region of the human phospholipase C-gamma1 gene was isolated from a human P1 genomic DNA library. The S1-nuclease mapping and primer extension analysis revealed that there is a single transcriptional start site located at 135 bases upstream from the translation start codon in the human phospholipase C-gamma1 gene.

Phylogenetic analysis of phospholipase C genes from Clostridium perfringens types A to E and Clostridium novyi [PDF]
The phylogenetic interrelationships between strains of 5 toxin types (A to E) of Clostridium perfringens were examined by analysis of differences in the nucleotide sequences of phospholipase C genes (plc genes) among 10 strains, including 3 strains for which the plc gene sequences have been previously reported.

Purification of two distinct types of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C from rat liver. Enzymological and structural studies [PDF]
Two kinds of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) were purified from rat liver by acid precipitation and several steps of column chromatography. About 50% of the activity could be precipitated when the pH of the liver homogenate was lowered to pH 4.7. The redissolved precipitate yielded two peaks, PLC I and PLC II, in an Affi-gel Blue column,

Metabolic pathways of eicosanoids—derivatives of arachidonic acid and their significance in skin [PDF]
The skin is a barrier that protects the human body against environmental factors (physical, including solar radiation, chemicals, and pathogens). The integrity and, consequently, the effective metabolic activity of skin cells is ensured by the cell ...

Mechanisms of Phospholipase C Activation by the Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide/Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide Type 2 Receptor [PDF]
The vasoactive intestinal polypeptide/pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide type 2 (VPAC(2)) receptor was shown to induce both [(3)H]inositol phosphate ([(3)H]InsP)and cAMP production in transfected COS7 cells and in GH(3) cells where it is natively expressed.
