PRKCG(protein kinase C gamma),癌症关联基因,基因ID:5582,蛋白激酶c(pkc)是一个丝氨酸和苏氨酸特异性蛋白激酶家族,可被钙和第二信使甘油二酯激活。pkc家族成员磷酸化多种蛋白质靶点,参与多种细胞信号传导途径。pkc也是一类肿瘤促进剂佛波酯的主要受体。pkc家族的每个成员都有一个特定的表达谱,并且被认为在细胞中扮演着不同的角色。该基因编码的蛋白是pkc家族成员之一。这种蛋白激酶仅在大脑和脊髓中表达,其定位仅限于神经元。已有研究表明,包括长时程增强(ltp)和长时程抑制(ltd)在内的多种神经功能都需要这种激酶。小鼠的基因敲除研究也表明,这种激酶可能与神经病理性疼痛的发展有关。该蛋白的缺陷与神经退行性疾病脊髓小脑ATAXIA14(SCA14)有关。已经发现了两个编码不同亚型的转录变体。[由RefSeq提供,2015年10月]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 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 distinct roles in cells. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the PKC family members. This protein。
