Protein kinase C alpha (PKC-alpha) is a member of the PKC family of serine-threonine-specific protein kinases that can be activated by calcium and the second messenger diacylglycerol. PKC family members phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways. PKC family members also serve as major receptors for phorbol esters, a class of tumor promoters. PKC-alpha has been reported to play roles in many different cellular processes, such as cell adhesion, cell transformation, cell cycle checkpoint, and cell volume control [taken from NCBI Entrez Gene (GeneID: 5578)].
Alternative names for
PKC-alpha Antibody include PKC-A antibody, PRKCA antibody, PKCA antibody, PRKACA antibody, AAG6 antibody.
