| - | '''Protein kinase C''' (PKC) | + | == Function == |
| + | '''Protein kinase C''' (PKC) phosphorylates serine or threonine residues in proteins. PKC act in signal transduction pathways<ref>PMID:11440359</ref>. PKC consists of regulatory domain hinged to a catalytic domain. The regulatory domain contains the C1 region which binds diacylglycerol (DAG) and phorbol esters and the C2 domain which is a Ca+2 sensor. PKC contains Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain which binds phosphatidylinositol lipids (PTDINS). The PH domain is found in proteins involved in intracellular signaling. | ||

| + | *'''Conventional PKC''' (CPKC) - α, β1, β2, γ – are activated by DAG, Ca+2 and a phospholipid.<br /> | ||
| + | *'''Novel PKC''' (NPKC) – δ, ε, η, θ – are activated by DAG.<br /> | ||
| + | *'''Atypical PKC''' (APKC) do not require DAG or Ca+2 for activation. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Relevance == | ||
| + | Activation of PKC and elevated levels of DAG are associated with vascular abnormalities in retinal, renal and cardiovascular tissues. Inhibitors of PKC-β are tested for prevention of diabetic complications<ref>PMID:9604860</ref>. Activation of PKC-α and PKC-β are linked to malignant phenotypes while PKC-δ is thought to mediate anti-cancer effects<ref>PMID:15907369</ref>. | ||
