Target Information

The PKC family of serine/threonine kinases, including PRKCA (PKC alpha), is activated intracellularly by signal transduction pathways. In humans, at least 12 different PKC polypeptides have been identified. These isoforms differ in primary structure, tissue distribution, subcellular localization, mode of action in vitro, response to extracellular signals, and substrate specificity.

PKC alpha, beta I, beta II, and gamma form the conventional family; their activities are Ca²⁺- and phospholipid-dependent. Protein kinase C (PKC) can be activated by calcium and the second messenger diacylglycerol. PKC family members phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways. They 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 plays a distinct role in cells. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the PKC family members and has been reported to play roles in cell adhesion, transformation, cell cycle checkpoint, and cell volume control. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this kinase may regulate cardiac contractility and Ca²⁺ handling in myocytes.
