CoraLite® Plus 488-conjugated PKC Epsilon Polyclonal antibody

PKC Epsilon (Protein kinase C epsilon type) is also named as PKC-ε, PRKCE and PKCE. It belongs to the protein kinase superfamily, AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family and PKC subfamily. PKC-ε, one of the novel isoforms, as a critical player in membrane mobilization during phagocytosis (PMID: 9069266). KC-ε is tethered to the Golgi through binding of its pseudosubstrate domain to phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PI4P) (PMID: 28539432). PKC-ε traffics on microtubule-associated vesicles from the Golgi to the forming phagosome. As the majority of macrophage PKC-ε is cytosolic, and PKCs translocate from the cytosol to their sites of activity, it predicted that cytosolic PKC-ε concentrated at phagosomes to facilitate membrane addition (PMID: 34622926). Two PKC isozymes of the novel group, PKCε and PKCδ, have different and sometimes opposite effects. PKCε stimulates cell growth and differentiation while PKCδ is apoptotic (PMID: 21810427).
