PKC isoforms are divided into three classes: conventional (cPKC), novel and atypical (aPKC).1 Vertebrates express two atypical PKCs, z and i/l.
PKCi2 and -l3 are human and mouse orthologues, respectively.
PKCz ia a key regulator of signaling pathways, and is involved in the MAP kinase cascade, NFkB activation, ribosomal S6-protein kinase signaling, and cell polarity.Brain-specific PKCz, or PKMz, is a new PKC isoform, synthesized from PKMz mRNA encoding a PKCz catalytic domain without a regulatory domain, which is not a proteolytic fragment of PKCz, as previously thought.
PKMz is a specific, autonomously active form of aPKCz4 that is both necessary and sufficient for maintaining hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP).
PKCz is the only PKC isozyme with a stable PKM form in hippocampus.6,7 Metabolic labeling of hippocampal slices shows increased de novo synthesis of PKMz in LTP.
Because PKMz is a kinase synthesized in an autonomously active form and is necessary and sufficient for maintaining LTP, it serves as an example of a link coupling gene expression directly to synaptic plasticity.

仕様
Size：100ul
Host：rabbit
Source Antibody：mouse
Grade：Affinity Purified
Purity：Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography
Form：Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2. No preservatives added. Labeled with Biotin.
Specificity：Recognizes mouse PKCz (~70kD) and PKMz (~55kD) proteins. The brain-specific isoform of this protein (PKMz) may appear as a doublet at ~55kD in Western Blot of brain homogenates. In mouse kidney homogenate, it identifies the band at ~70kD. Reactivity has been confirmed with mouse kidney and brain homogenates.
Isotype：IgG
Calc Applications Abbrev：IP WB
Calc Crossreactivity：Mo
Immunogen：Synthetic peptide derived from the middle region of the catalytic domain of the mouse protein kinase C, zeta isoform (PKCz) protein.
