PRKCB Monoclonal 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. Protein kinase Cs (PKCs) are signaling molecules that play key roles in many cellular processes, including secretion, gene expression, proliferation, and muscle contraction. The PKC family is broadly divided into three subgroups: classical, novel, and atypical PKCs. These subgroups differ in both protein sequences and mechanistic requirements for catalytic activity. PKC beta is one of the PKC family members. PKC beta has been reported to be involved in many different cellular functions, such as B cell activation, apoptosis induction, endothelial cell proliferation, and intestinal sugar absorption. Studies in mice also suggest that this kinase may also regulate neuronal functions and correlate fear-induced conflict behavior after stress.
