Application

Bisindolylmaleimide II (BIS II) has been used:
  • as a protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor to study its effects on cardiomyocyte phenotypes
  • as a PKC inhibitor along with methanandamide (mAEA) to study its effects on murine gastric vagal afferent (GVA) mechanosensitivity
  • as a PKC/protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor to study its effects on bone-marrow cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Bisindolylmaleimide II (BIS II) acts as a dual protein kinase A/C (PKA/C) inhibitor.

An assay for protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) activity based on the quantification of a synthetic substrate using capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection was developed. The peptides labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate F-ERK (where ERK is extracellular signal-regulated kinase) and
