General description
PKCθ (protein kinase C θ) is a serine/threonine kinase, belonging to protein kinase C family.
Biochem/physiol Actions
PKCθ (protein kinase C θ) is required for T cell activation and proliferation. In presence of TCR (T cell receptor) stimulation, it is responsible for activation of NF-AT (nuclear factor of activated T-cells), NF-κB (nuclear factor κ B) and AP1 (adaptor-related protein complex 1). It might be a target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. PKCθ is needed for fat-mediated insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.
Physical form
Supplied in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, with 150 mM NaCl, 0.2 5mM DTT, 0.1 mM EGTA, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM PMSF, and 25% glycerol.
