Summary
This review covers the biochemistry and signaling roles of phospholipase C enzyme families across mammalian physiology and pathology. While not directly a lighting study, PLC enzymes are components of the phototransduction pathway in melanopsin-expressing intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), which are central to non-visual light detection relevant to circadian lighting.
Categories
The Science of Light: Phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes are downstream effectors in phototransduction cascades, including those involving melanopsin-expressing ipRGCs, making this relevant to photoreceptor signal transduction biology.
