Anti-PKC ζ antibody produced in rabbit

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.

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

Immunogen Range: 526-575

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

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.
