| Gene Symbol | PLCB4 |
| Full Name | Phospholipase C Beta 4 |
| Chromosome | 20p12.3 |
| Protein Type | Receptor |
| Function | Upon receptor activation, the Gαq subunit activates PLCB4, which then hydrolyzes PIP2 in the plasma membrane |
| Primary Expression | Purkinje cells, mediating signaling from:
- Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1): Critical for cerebellar LTD
- Muscarinic acetylcholine re |
