Phospholipase C, IP3, DAG, and Ca2+

The video provides a concise overview of phospholipase C, its activation by G protein-coupled receptors, and its role in bio signaling. It explains the structure of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and the mechanism of phospholipase C, leading to the production of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and diacylglycerol. The video also discusses the function of IP3 in calcium signaling and the role of diacylglycerol in activating protein kinase C.
