Application

dPPA/phorbol ester 12-deoxyphorbol 13-phenylacetate 20-acetate (DOPPA) may be used as a potent activator of PKC-β:
  • to treat transfected HT-22 cells to promote phosphorylation of p66Shc
  • to treat HT-22 and B12 cells to study its effects on cell viability
  • to treat neurons and measure primary cortical neurons using the 2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

dPPA is a phorbol ester that selectively activates the β isotype of PKC. It is approximately 100-fold more potent for PKC-β than the α, γ or δ isotypes. PKC family members each have specific functions, but PKC-β and δ appear to share similar expression profiles, and both are involved in regulating apoptosis and B cell activation, thus dPPA is a useful tool in determining PKCβ specific signaling events.

Recent reports have claimed that activation of protein kinase C (PKC)-beta is sufficient for both differentiation and apoptosis in promyeloid HL60 cells. Phorbol esters which differentially activate PKC isoenzymes in vitro were used to induce differentiation and apoptosis in U937

There is good evidence from cell lines and rodents that elevated protein kinase C (PKC) overexpression/activity causes insulin resistance. Therefore, the present study determined the effects of PKC activation/inhibition on insulin-mediated glucose transport in incubated human skeletal muscle and primary

Recent evidence has shown that activation of lipid-sensitive protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms leads to skeletal muscle insulin resistance. However, earlier studies demonstrated that phorbol esters increase glucose transport in skeletal muscle. The purpose of the present study was to

In a previous study, we showed that geranylgeraniol (GGO) is a potent inducer of apoptosis in human leukemia cells, including HL60 promyelocytic leukemia cells. The present study describes the effects of activators of protein kinase C (PKC) on GGO-induced apoptosis

To determine a role of protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes in lymphocyte activation, human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were activated with 12-deoxyphorbol-13-O-phenylacetate (dPP; an agonist of both calcium-dependent and calcium-independent PKC isozymes), thymeleatoxin (TX; an activator of calcium-dependent PKC alpha
