Diacylglycerol: formation and function in phospholipid-mediated signal transduction
1FSP Diagnostik und Experimentelle Therapie, Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, Heidelberg, F.R.G.
Abstract:
1. Properties, distribution and multiplicity of phosphoinositidases (phospholipase C, PLC) are investigated. 2. Generation of diacylglycerol (DAG) by a variety of enzymes such as phosphoinositide and phosphatidylcholine specific PLC, by a combination of phospholipase D and phosphatidic hydrolase, and by triglyceride lipase is examined. 3. Ca2+ and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase C act as the target of DAG messenger action. 4. There are differences in the formation of DAG in normal and transformal cell.
