Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable calcium-dependent phospholipase C activity and phosphatidylinositol phospholipase C activity. Predicted to be involved in phosphatidylinositol metabolic process; phosphatidylinositol-mediated signaling; and release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid catabolic process. Located in cytosol and membrane. Is expressed in intestine; musculoskeletal system; nervous system; and neural retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in holoprosencephaly. Orthologous to human PLCH1 (phospholipase C eta 1).
