5'-Nucleotidase was purified greater than 1000-fold from human placenta by treatment of plasma membranes with S. aureus phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C and affinity chromatography on Con A Sepharose and AMP-Sepharose. The resulting enzyme had a specific activity of greater than 5000 mumol/hr/mg protein and a subunit molecular weight of 73,000. Goat antibodies against 5'-nucleotidase inhibited enzyme activity and detected 5'-nucleotidase after Western blotting. These antibodies also recognized a soluble form of 5'-nucleotidase and residual membrane-bound 5'-nucleotidase which could not be released by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C treatment, suggesting that the three forms of the enzyme are structurally related. The soluble 5'-nucleotidase may be derived from the membrane-bound form by the action of an endogenous phospholipase C. The structural basis for the inability of some of the membrane-bound 5'-nucleotidase to be released by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C is unknown.

Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLC-gamma-2) is an enzyme that regulates the function of immune cells. PLC-gamma-2 has been implicated in neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders, yet investigation of this protein has been limited by a lack of independently characterized antibodies. Here we have characterized eleven PLC-gamma-2 commercial antibodies for use in Western Blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence using a standardized experimental protocol based on comparing read-outs in knockout cell lines and isogenic parental controls.

Background: Results from the TCGA database showed that phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCG2) expression level in Lung Adenocarcinoma (LUAD) was notably decreased compared to adjacent tissues, so we unveiled its role of LUAD.
Objective: This study aims to explore the expression and clinical significance of Phosphatidyl-inositol-specific phospholipase Cγ2 (PLCG2) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) cells and its role in cell proliferation and metastasis.
Methods: Differential PLCG2 mRNA and protein levels between LUAD tissues and adjacent tissues were analyzed from the TCGA database, TIMER, and UALCAN database.

The rapid activation of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) occurs early after the stimulation of biotic and abiotic stress in plants, which directly associated with the calcium channel-induced calcium ion (Ca) influx. Exogenous calcium chloride (CaCl) mediates the calcium signaling transduction to promote the γ-aminobutyric acid accumulation and nutritional quality in shredded carrots whereas the generation mechanism remains uncertain. Therefore, the involvement of PI-PLC-associated phospholipid metabolism was investigated in present study.

Studies at the cellular and molecular level of magnetoreception-sensing and responding to magnetic fields-are a relatively new research area. It appears that different mechanisms of magnetoreception in animals evolved from different origins, and, therefore, many questions about its mechanisms remain left open. Here we present new information regarding the Electromagnetic Perceptive Gene (EPG) from that may serve as part of the foundation to understanding and applying magnetoreception.
