Summary

Receptor activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) represents a major mechanism for signal transduction in eukaryotic cells. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the identification and characterization of the individual components of this pathway. Much less information, however, is available regarding mechanisms that may underlie the regulation of this pathway. In this review, some potential mechanisms for the regulation of receptor-stimulated phosphoinositide hydrolysis are discussed. Evidence is presented that regulation of this pathway can occur at the level of either receptor, Gq or PLC.
