En undergrupp av fosfolipaser som hydrolyserar organofosfatbindningen som finns i position tre i glycerofosfolipider. Även om fosfolipas C i singular specifikt handlar om ett enzym som katalyserar hydrolysen i fosfatidylkoliner, så används termen i litteraturen vanligtvis som benämning på en stor grupp olika enzymer som katalyserar hydrolysen hos fosfatidylinositoler.
A subclass of phospholipases that hydrolyze the phosphoester bond found in the third position of GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS. Although the singular term phospholipase C specifically refers to an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (EC 3.1.4.3), it is commonly used in the literature to refer to broad variety of enzymes that specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOLS.
