Question

Why is phospholipase c is the target on this western blot explain in detail 

phospho-CREB

You should assume (i) that any phosphorylation event occurs as the results of the action of an upstream enzyme and (ii) that protein phosphorylation causes the activation of that protein.

Data from an experiment is shown in the figure below. In the experiment, murine cells were treated with a specific a ligand that activates receptor R. In some cases, the cells were exposed to one of two drugs (X or Y) as
well as the ligand or were left untreated (UT). After 30 minutes of treatment, the cells were lysed with a detergent-based buffer to release the soluble membrane, cyosolic and nuclear proteins.
Samples from each cell extract were run (in duplicate) by SDS-PAGE (SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) in order to separate the proteins by molecular mass (size). The separated proteins were then transferred to
nitrocellulose membrane which was then probed with different antibodies in a western blotting procedure to detect specific phosphorylated proteins or total proteins. If present in the cell extract, these proteins appear as a
dark band in the relevant western blot image within the figure.
