Abstract
Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C-γ1 (PLC-γ1) is an important signaling regulator involved in various cellular processes. In brain, PLC-γ1 is highly expressed and participates in neuronal cell functions mediated by neurotrophins. Consistent with essential roles of PLC-γ1, it is involved in development of brain and synaptic transmission. Significantly, abnormal expression and activation of PLC-γ1 appears in various brain disorders such as epilepsy, depression, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Thus, PLC-γ1 has been implicated in brain functions as well as related brain disorders. In this review, we discuss the roles of PLC-γ1 in neuronal functions and its pathological relevance to diverse brain diseases.
