Anti-PLCB2 Antibody Picoband®

1-Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phosphodiesterase beta-2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PLCB2 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a phosphodiesterase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to the second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol. The encoded protein is activated by G proteins and has been shown to be involved in the type 2 taste receptor signal transduction pathway. In addition, nuclear factor kappa B can regulate the transcription of this gene, whose protein product is also an important regulator of platelet responses.

E.coli-derived human PLCB2 recombinant protein (Position: D27-L1185) . Human PLCB2 shares 85.7% and 85.3% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat PLCB2, respectively.
