PLCIP1

PLCIP1 stands for phospholipase C interacting protein 1. It is a protein encoded by the PLCIP1 gene in humans. The protein has been described as an interactor of phospholipase C (PLC) enzymes and is thought to participate in the regulation of phosphoinositide signaling pathways, though detailed mechanistic roles remain to be clarified. Available studies to date have not definitively assigned a catalytic activity to PLCIP1.

Localization analyses have reported cytoplasmic distribution with possible association to membrane compartments in certain contexts, but precise subcellular localization may vary by tissue or cellular state. The protein's domain organization has not been widely characterized in public resources, and its structural features are not well defined.

PLCIP1 was named for its demonstrated interaction with PLC enzymes. Research on PLCIP1 is ongoing, with work focusing on identifying interacting partners, regulatory mechanisms, and potential roles in cell signaling, growth, or differentiation. There are currently no established clinical associations for PLCIP1.

Public databases such as UniProt or NCBI Gene provide entry pages for PLCIP1 with basic gene and protein information, but the functional details are limited and may be updated as new studies emerge.
