General description

PKCθ (protein kinase C θ) is a serine/threonine kinase, belonging to protein kinase C family.

Biochem/physiol Actions

PKCθ (protein kinase C θ) is required for T cell activation and proliferation. In presence of TCR (T cell receptor) stimulation, it is responsible for activation of NF-AT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells), NF-κB (nuclear factor κ B) and AP1 (adaptor-related protein complex 1). It might be a target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. PKCθ is needed for fat-mediated insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.

Physical form

Supplied in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, with 150 mM NaCl, 0.2 5mM DTT, 0.1 mM EGTA, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM PMSF, and 25% glycerol.

A functional immune system not only requires rapid expansion of antigenic specific T cells, but also requires efficient deletion of clonally expanded T cells to avoid accumulation of T cells. Fas/Fas ligand (FasL)-mediated apoptosis plays a critical role in the

Insulin resistance plays a primary role in the development of type 2 diabetes and may be related to alterations in fat metabolism. Recent studies have suggested that local accumulation of fat metabolites inside skeletal muscle may activate a serine kinase

Insulin Signaling and Energy Homeostasis

Glucose metabolism is regulated by the opposing actions of insulin and glucagon. Insulin is released from pancreatic ß cells in response to high blood glucose levels and regulates glucose metabolism through its actions on muscle, liver, and adipose tissue.
