Protein kinase C ('PKC', EC 2.7.11.13) is a cyclic nucleotide-independent enzyme that phosphorylates serine and threonine residues in many target proteins.
The PKC family has been divided into three groups with differing enzymes cofactor requirements.
The first is conventional (c) PKC isoforms (comprising α, βI (also known as β1), βII (also known as β2) and γ)), that require diacylglycerol (DAG), Ca2+, and phospholipid for activation.
The second is novel (n)PKC isoforms (comprising δ, ε, η (also known as PKC-L), θ and µ (the mouse homolog of human PKCµ, known as PKD)) that require DAG but not Ca2+ for activation.
The third is atypical (a)PKC isoforms, namely ζ, ι and λ (mouse homolog of human PKC ι) that require neither Ca2+ nor DAG for activation.
A new PKC member has recently been discovered and is referred to as PKCν.
PKC family members phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in many 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.
PKCη (PKC eta) that is endogenously expressed or overexpressed is found to associate with cyclin E/cdk2/p21 complex in keratinocytes of mice and humans.
Defects in PRKCH may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke, known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction.
A stroke is an acute neurologic event that leads to the death of brain neural tissue causing the loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function.
