Disease
PLCG2_HUMAN Defects in PLCG2 are the cause of familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome type 3 (FCAS3) [MIM:614468. An autosomal dominant immune disorder characterized by the development of cutaneous urticaria, erythema, and pruritis in response to cold exposure. Affected individuals have variable additional immunologic defects, including antibody deficiency, decreased numbers of B cells, defective B cells, increased susceptibility to infection, and increased risk of autoimmune disorders.[1]
Function
PLCG2_HUMAN The production of the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is mediated by activated phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes. It is a crucial enzyme in transmembrane signaling.
