A portion of amino acids 298-326 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for this PKC delta antibody.
Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that can be activated by calcium and 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. Each member of the PKC family has a specific expression profile and is believed to play a distinct role in cells. PKC delta is one of the PKC family members, and may play a role in antigen-dependent control of B-cell function.
