PKC zeta Antibody (453513) [Biotin] Summary

• Immunogen: E. coli-derived recombinant human PKC zeta
  Ile454-Val592
  Accession # Q05513
• Specificity: Detects human PKC zeta in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs, less than 25% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) PKC iota and rhPKC alpha and no cross-reactivity with rhPKC epsilon, eta, beta 1, beta 2, delta, gamma, nu, mu, or theta is observed. In Western blots, 100% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) PKC iota and no cross-reactivity with rhPKC epsilon or eta is observed.

Background

Protein kinase C (PKC), a class of serine/threonine kinases activated by Ca2+ and/or phospholipids, is involved in a variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation and secretion. PKC zeta exhibits a constitutive kinase activity which is independent of Ca2+, phosphatidylserine and diacylglycerol. Arachidonic acid alone or a combination of gamma-linolenic acid and phosphatidylserine slightly enhance PKC zeta activity. PKC zeta, in contrast to PKC alpha, is insensitive to PKC inhibitors known to interfere either with the regulatory or the catalytic domain and cannot be activated by phorbol ester treatment of NIH 3T3 cells or insect cells, overexpressing the respective PKC isoenzyme (1). Results have identified PDK-1 as the kinase that phosphorylates and activates PKC zeta in the PI 3-kinase signaling pathway. This phosphorylation and activation of PKC zeta by PDK-1 is enhanced in the presence of Ptdins-3,4-5-P3. PKCs are enzymes that are regulated at the plasma membrane, and a membrane-targeted PKC zeta is constitutively active in the absence of agonist stimulation. The association between PKC zeta and PDK-1 reveals extensive cross-talk between enzymes in the PI 3-kinase signaling pathway. (2)
