PLCG1 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in phospholipase C signaling and calcium release. This gene is implicated in neurodegenerative diseases and represents a potential therapeutic target.
PLCG1 is a phospholipase C isoform activated by receptor tyrosine kinases. It plays important roles in cell growth, differentiation, and calcium signaling[^1].
PLCG1 performs signaling functions:
PLCG1 implicated in AD:
PLCG1 is expressed in:
