Abstract excerpt
Phospholipase C (PLC) is a key enzyme in phosphoinositide turnover. Among 13 PLC isozymes, PLCδ1 and PLCδ3 share high sequence homology and similar tissue distribution, and are expected to have functional redundancy in many tissues. We previously reported that the simultaneous loss of PLCδ1 and PLCδ3 caused embryonic lethality because of excessive apoptosis and impaired vascularization of the placenta. Prenatal...
