'PI-specific PLC enzymes are a key component of phosphatidylinositol-mediated signaling pathways since the hydrophobic product, diacylglycerol, activates protein kinase C and the water-soluble product, inositol trisphosphate, is involved in Ca2+ mobilization. Nonspecific, or PC-PLC, enzymes can generate diacylglycerol without Ca2+ mobilization. A series of inhibitors, both lipophilic and water-soluble, have ... More
