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.

12-O:-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) inhibits gap junctional communication in many cell culture systems, but TPA-induced phosphorylation of the gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) varies much between systems. We have here studied whether these responses and their sensitivities can be correlated with total
