Preparation and Storage

Background: PKC zeta

Members of the Protein Kinase C (PKC) family are serine/threonine protein kinases that play a key regulatory role in a number of cellular functions including cell growth and differentiation, hormone secretion, and gene expression. Multiple genes and alternative splicing result in three subfamilies, which differ in their co‑factor requirements: conventional PKC isoforms ( alpha, beta Ι, beta ΙΙ, and gamma ) which require calcium and phosphatidylserine (PS), diacylglycerol (DAG) or phorbol esters for activation; novel isoforms (δ, epsilon, eta, and theta ), which are calcium-independent but are still regulated by PS, DAG, or phorbol esters; and atypical isoforms ( iota, lambda, and zeta ), which are calcium-independent and do not require PS, DAG, or phorbol esters for activation. PKC iota has 72% overall identity to PKC zeta. Atypical PKCs have been shown to serve as a convergent downstream target for the PI 3-kinase and TC10 signaling pathways. Stimulation of atypical PKCs by TNF-alpha has been shown to be required for
NF‑ kappa B activation. Furthermore, insulin-stimulated atypical PKC activation has been directly implicated in the translocation of GLUT4 and glucose uptake in adipocytes.
