EC 2.7.11.13 Details
EC number
2.7.11.13
Accepted name
protein kinase C
Reaction
ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein
Other name(s)
calcium-dependent protein kinase C, calcium-independent protein kinase C, calcium/phospholipid dependent protein kinase, cPKCα, cPKCβ, cPKCγ, nPKCδ, nPKCε, nPKC, nPKC, PKC, PKCα, PKCβ, PKCγ, PKCδ, PKCε, PKCζ, Pkc1p, protein kinase Cε, STK24
Systematic name
ATP:protein phosphotransferase (diacylglycerol-dependent)
Comment
A family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that depend on lipids for activity. They can be activated by calcium but have a requirement for the second messenger diacylglycerol. Members of this group of enzymes phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cell-signalling pathways. Members of the protein kinase C family also serve as major receptors for phorbol esters, a class of tumour promoters.
History
