OnCo

PLCG1 (1-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase gamma-1) is a gene that drives cell growth when it is altered. The public catalogues list it as an oncogene driver and a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Sarcomas, Renal cell carcinoma, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and 5 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Mediates the production of the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3). Plays an important role in the regulation of intracellular signalling cascades. Becomes activated in response to ligand-mediated activation of receptor-type tyrosine kinases, such as PDGFRA, PDGFRB, EGFR, FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4. Plays a role in actin reorganisation and cell migration. Guanine nucleotide exchange factor that binds the GTPase DNM1 and catalyses the dissociation of GDP, allowing a GTP molecule to bind in its place, therefore enhancing DNM1-dependent endocytosis. Location: Cell projection, lamellipodium; Cell projection, ruffle (UniProt). Locus 20q12 (HGNC).
