General description

Protein kinase C (PKC) belongs to a family of serine/ threonine kinases. It comprises a regulatory domain at the N-terminus and a catalytic domain at the C-terminus. The regions are divided into conserved regions (C1–C4) and regions that differ between isoforms (V1–V5). PKC has a common pseudosubstrate domain in the regulatory region.

Application

For use in kinase assays.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Protein kinase C (PKC) is activated by diacylglycerol (DAG) and acts as an intracellular receptor of tumor-promoting phorbol esters. It regulates several cell functions and signal transduction pathways through cell migration and polarity, differentiation, proliferation, and cell death. PKC is part of a large group of phospholipid-dependent enzymes, which catalyze the covalent transfer of phosphate from ATP to serine and threonine residues of proteins.
