PLCG2
geneOn this page
Summary
PLCG2 (phospholipase C gamma 2, HGNC:9066) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q24.1, encoding 1-phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase gamma-2 (P16885). 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.
The protein encoded by this gene is a transmembrane signaling enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 1-phosphatidyl-1D-myo-inositol 4,5-bisphosphate to 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol (DAG) using calcium as a cofactor. IP3 and DAG are second messenger molecules important for transmitting signals from growth factor receptors and immune system receptors across the cell membrane. Mutations in this gene have been found in autoinflammation, antibody deficiency, and immune dysregulation syndrome and familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 3.

Function. 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.
Subunit / interactions. Part of a complex composed of EEIG1, TNFRSF11A/RANK, PLCG2, GAB2, TEC and BTK; complex formation increases in the presence of TNFSF11/RANKL. Interacts (via SH2 domain) with CSF1R (tyrosine phosphorylated). Interacts constitutively with THEMIS2.
Subcellular location. Membrane raft.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by CSF1R. Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by BTK and SYK; upon ligand-induced activation of a variety of growth factor receptors and immune system receptors. Phosphorylation leads to increased phospholipase activity.
Disease relevance. Familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 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. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Autoinflammation, antibody deficiency, and immune dysregulation (APLAID) [MIM:614878] An autosomal dominant systemic disorder characterized by recurrent blistering skin lesions with a dense inflammatory infiltrate and variable involvement of other tissues, including joints, the eye, and the gastrointestinal tract. Affected individuals have a mild humoral immune deficiency associated with recurrent sinopulmonary infections, but no evidence of circulating autoantibodies. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 50 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
