Phospholipase C gamma (PLCγ) is a subtype of the PLC family of enzymes. It is activated by various tyrosine kinase receptors and is involved in the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) into diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol trisphosphate (IP3). These secondary messengers play a pivotal role in intracellular signaling.
