Background
Enzymes of the phospholipase C family catalyze the hydrolysis of phospholipids to yield diacylglycerols and water-soluble phosphorylated derivatives of the lipid head groups. The phospholipase C gamma-2 (PLCγII) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in intracellular signal transduction pathways. This enzyme is important because of its role in the generation of second messengers following the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (1). PLCγII has been implicated in collagen-induced signal transduction in platelets and antigen-dependent signaling in B-lymphocytes. It has been suggested that tyrosine kinases activate PLCγII (2). It has also been shown that PLCγII was required for receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand-induced (RANKL-induced) osteoclastogenesis by differentially regulating nuclear factor of activated T cells c1 (NFATc1), activator protein-1 (AP1), and NF-kappaB (3).
