Background: PKC alpha

Protein Kinase C (PKC) refers to a family of serine/threonine protein kinases grouped by their activation mechanisms. PKC alpha belongs to the conventional PKC group, alongside Beta-I, Beta-II, and Gamma, and is activated by phosphatidylserine in a calcium dependent manner. Furthermore, PKC alpha is localized to the membrane and cytoplasm, but in some cases can translocate to the nucleus. PKC alpha helps to positively and negatively regulate cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, adhesion, and migration via phosphorylation of RAF1, BCL2, CSPG4, TNNT2/CTNT, or MAPK1/3. It also exhibits positive interactions with ADAP1/CENTA1, CSPG4 and PRKCABP. PKC alpha demonstrates anti-apoptotic function in glioma cells and protects them from apoptosis by suppressing the p53/TP53-mediated activation of IGFBP3 (PMCID: PMC1360842). Additional research has shown PKC alpha's involvement in cellular inflammation (PMCID: PMC3080812).
