Allgemeine Beschreibung
Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that can be activated by calcium and the second messenger diacylglycerol. PKC family members phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways. PKC family members also serve as major receptors for phorbol esters, a class of tumor promoters. Each member of the PKC family has a specific expression profile and is believed to play a distinct role in cells. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the PKC family members. This kinase has been reported to play roles in many different cellular processes, such as cell adhesion, cell transformation, cell cycle checkpoint, and cell volume control. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this kinase may be a fundamental regulator of cardiac contractility and Ca(2+) handling in myocytes. (provided by RefSeq)
Biochem/physiol Actions
PRKCA (protein kinase C α) is a serine-threonine kinase. It is associated with tumorigenesis, invasion, apoptosis, differentiation, angiogenesis and metastasis. In endothelial cells, PRKCA-mediated phosphorylation of TRPC1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 1) regulates store operated Ca2+ entry. Downregulation of PKCA inhibits the invasion of urinary bladder, colon, renal cell, breast carcinomas, multiple myeloma, glioma and endometrial cancer cells.
