Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We recently demonstrated that phospholipase C (PLC)-delta1 activity in cultured skin fibroblasts obtained from patients with coronary spastic angina (CSA) is enhanced. We tested the hypothesis that structural abnormality in PLC-delta1 isoform is a cause of the enhanced activity. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sequence analysis of the cDNA coding for PLC-delta1 obtained from fibroblasts revealed that one...
