Gene Information

human ... PRKCZ(5590)

General description

Protein kinase C (PKC) ϲ is an isoenzyme, which belongs to the atypical class of protein kinase C family. PKCϲ is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 1p36.33-p36.2. PKC ϲ is expressed in human eosinophils. This protein is characterized with a PB1 (Phox and Bem1) domain in the N-terminal, a pseudosubstrate (PS) sequence, a C1 domain (or phorbol esters/diacylglycerol binding domain) of a single Cys-rich zinc-finger motif, and a kinase domain in the C-terminal.

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human PKC zeta.

Immunogen Range: 526-575

Application

Anti-PKC ϲ, C-Terminal antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunohistochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Isoenzymes of protein kinase C (PKC) family play a vital role in downstream signaling and cell functions. PKC ϲ regulates adhesion and effector functions of human eosinophils stimulated with platelet-activating factor (PAF) or complement (C) 5a. PKC ϲ and PKC δ might act as a therapeutic target for decreasing eosinophilic inflammation in clinical conditions such as asthma. PKC ϲ is calcium–independent, and is activated by phospholipids including phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylinositol triphosphates and ceramides. Experimental studies state that, PKC ϲ is involved in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, transcriptional factor NF-κB (NF-κB) activation, ribosomal S6-protein kinase signaling, and cell polarity. PKC-ϲ mediates hypoxia-induced Na,K-ATPase endocytosis in the alveolar epithelial cells (AEC).4 PKC-ϲ functions as a potential biomarker for human prostate cancer.

Protein kinase M zeta (PKM-ζ), a constitutively active N-terminal truncated form of PKC-ζ, has long been implicated in a cellular correlate of learning, long-term potentiation (LTP). Inhibition of PKM-ζ with zeta-inhibitory peptide (ZIP) has been shown in many brain structures

Previously, using gene-knockdown techniques together with genome expression array analysis, we showed the gene protein Kinase C (PKC)-zeta (PRKCZ) to mediate the malignant phenotype of human prostate cancer. However, according to NCBI, the gene has undergone several major iterations. Therefore
