Gene Information

human ... PRKCA(5578)

General description

Protein kinase C α (PRKCA) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 17q24.2. The encoded protein is a member of the serine/threonine-specific protein kinase family.

Specificity

The antibody detects endogenous levels of PKC α only when phosphorylated at tyrosine 658.

Immunogen

Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of tyrosine 658(F-S-Y(p)-V-N) derived from Human PKC α.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Protein kinase C α (PRKCA) is a serine-threonine kinase. It is associated with tumorigenesis, invasion, apoptosis, differentiation, angiogenesis and metastasis. Downregulation of PKCA inhibits the invasion of urinary bladder, colon, renal cell, breast carcinomas, multiple myeloma, glioma and endometrial cancer cells. In endothelial cells, PRKCA-mediated phosphorylation of TRPC1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 1) regulates store operated Ca2+ entry.

Features and Benefits
