What is the function of this protein?
The production of the second messenger molecules diacylglycerol (DAG) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) is mediated by activated phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C enzymes (PubMed:9497345).  plc-1 is a bifunctional enzyme which also regulates small GTPases of the Ras superfamily through its Ras guanine-exchange factor (RasGEF) activity (By similarity).  By activating IP3 receptor itr-1-mediated intracellular Ca(2+) release via the production of IP3, regulates ovulation by controlling contraction and/or dilation of the distal spermatheca valve during oocyte entry and the timing of the dilation of the spermatheca-uterine valve during oocyte exit (PubMed:23671426, PubMed:15355798, PubMed:18369461, PubMed:15194811).  In a similar manner, plays an essential role in epidermal morphogenesis by regulating migration of epidermal cells during ventral closure and to a lesser extent by regulating epidermal cell dorsal intercalation (PubMed:18369461).  Involved in the immune response to S. aureus bacterium by activating kinase dkf-1 via the production of DAG which in turn activates transcription factor hlh-30 (PubMed:27184844).  In ASER neurons, required for adjusting the orientation behavior in salt gradients based on the memory of previous salt concentration encountered (PubMed:23887678).
