Abstract
Phospholipase C (PLC) expression and activity have repeatedly been reported to be elevated in cardiomyocytes under pathological conditions, including ischemia/reperfusion, hypertrophy, and chamber dilatation. In recent studies the subtypes of PLC involved have been identified, paving the way for studies of the mechanisms by which PLC may be activated under pathological conditions and how this may contribute to disease progression. PLC subtypes are localized by subtype- and tissue-specific binding to scaffolding proteins providing the possibility of developing cardiac-specific therapies based on inhibition of the localization of particular PLC subtypes in cardiomyocytes.
