Phospholipase C beta 3 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLCB3 PLC-β3]) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphatidylinositol_4,5-bisphosphate  PIP2]) to the second messengers inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inositol_trisphosphate IP3]) and diacylglycerol ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diglyceride DAG]) in an essential step for many physiological cascades. When the receptor stimulated by ligand of some kind, it increases exchange of guanosine diphosphate (GDP) to guanosine triphosphate  (GTP) on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gq_alpha_subunit Gαq]. GTP-bound Gαq activates PLC-β3, and PLC-β3 increases up to three orders of magnitude the rate of hydrolysis of GTP by its activating G protein. This is a unique mechanism in which PLC-β3 enzyme has the ability to terminate the Gαq protein signal, in addition to being activated by it.<ref>PMID:20966218</ref> <ref>PMID:23880553</ref>

<scene name='70/701452/Fig7/1'>An extended loop (residues 254-268)</scene> between EF hands 3 and 4 of PLC-β3 interacts with the GTP-binding region of Gαq. Asn260 of the EF3/4 loop promotes GTP hydrolysis by interaction with the side chain of Gln209 of Gαq, which rearranges during GTP hydrolysis to stabilize the transition state mimicked by GDP•AlF4–•H20. Asn260 also interacts with Glu212 to stabilize switch 1 for GTP hydrolysis.

Other effectors are known to engage Gαq throughout <scene name='70/701452/Fig3/4'>different regions (pink)</scene>. In addition, there are a large family of regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins that independently accelerates the GTP hydrolysis, these RGS proteins engage the GTPase domain throughout  <scene name='70/701452/Fig4/4'>several residues (brown)</scene> on Gαq.
