Target description

Protein kinase C alpha type (UniProt: P17252; also known as EC:2.7.11.13, PKC-A, PKC-alpha) is encoded by the PRKCA (also known as PRKACA) gene (Gene ID: 5578) in human. Protein kinase C, a ubiquitous, phospholipid dependent serine/threonine kinase, is involved in signal transduction associated with cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. At least eleven closely related PKC isozymes have been reported that differ in their structure, biochemical properties, tissue distribution, subcellular localization, and substrate specificity. PKCa is a conventional, Ca2+-activated, diacylglyceral (DAG)-dependent PKC isozyme. Its protein kinase domain is localized in amino acids 339-597 and also has an AGC-kinase C-terminal that is localized in amino acids 598-668. The Ca2+-binding site of PKCa resides in the regulatory domain that contains two conserved regions, C1 and C2, that play a vital role in the regulation of enzyme activity. The C2 domain (aa 158-275) serves as calcium sensor. The catalytic domain is composed on highly conserved C3 and C4 regions. The C3 region contains the ATP-binding consensus sequence, whereas the C4 region is responsible for protein substrate binding. PKCa is highly expressed in a number of cancer cells where it can act as a tumor promoter and is implicated in malignant phenotypes of several tumors such as gliomas and breast cancers. It can positively regulate angiogenesis, platelet aggregation, and thrombus formation in arteries. On the other hand, it negatively regulates myocardial contractility and regulates cardiomyocyte function by phosphorylating cardiac troponin T, which induces significant reduction in actomyosin ATPase activity, myofilament calcium sensitivity and myocardial contractility. It also promote cell growth by phosphorylating and activating RAF1, which mediates the activation of the MAPK/ERK signaling cascade, and by up-regulating cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (CDKN1A), which facilitates active cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) complex formation in glioma cells. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
