Gene Information

human ... PRKCZ(5590)

General description

PRKCZ (Protein kinase C ζ) is located on chromosome 1p36.33-p36 belonging to the PKC family of serine/threonine kinases and the aPKC subfamily.

Immunogen

Protein kinase C zeta type recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PRKCZ (Protein kinase C ζ) is involved in a variety of cellular processes including cell proliferation, cell motility, and cell survival. It acts as a regulatory molecule in the insulin signaling pathways. It has been suggested that PRKCZ performs downstream of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) in the insulin signal pathway for the translocation of GLUT4-encoded protein. It has also been reported that PRKCZ may act as a negative regulator by phosphorylating insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), which restricts its ability to activate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in response to insulin. It has been documented that PRKCZ might be involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). PRKCZ also has been reported to be part of various signaling pathways such as ERK/MAPK activation pathway, p70 ribosomal S6 kinase signaling cascade, activation of transcription factor NF-κB. It also plays a role in the regulation of cell polarity. The study predicts that PRKCZ may have a role in ovarian cancer progression.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
