Product details:
PKC gamma is an 80 kDa member of the conventional group (cPKCs: sensitive to calcium, diacylglycerol and phorbol esters) of the PKC family of serine/threonine family kinases that are involved in a wide range of physiological processes including mitogenesis, cell survival and transcriptional regulation. PKC gamma plays a key role in neuronal signal transduction and is translocated from the nucleus to the cytoplasm upon activation by phorbol ester, where in epithelial cells it has been implicated in regulating intracellular communication. The activation loop threonine (threonine 514 in PKC gamma) of conventional PKCs is phosphorylated by phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1), which is necessary for their autophosphorylation, a critical step in the generation of a catalytically mature enzyme. Threonine 655 is an autophosphorylation site in the carboxy-terminus of PKC gamma.

Properties and Storage Information:
Form-Liquid, Purification technique-Affinity purification Immunogen, Purification notes-The antibody has been negatively preadsorbed using a non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the site of phosphorylation to remove antibody that is reactive with non-phosphorylated PKC gamma. The final product is generated by affinity chromatography using a PKC gamma-derived peptide that is phosphorylated at threonine 655., Storage buffer-pH: 7.3Preservative: 0.05% Sodium azideConstituents: PBS, 0.1% BSA, Shipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions--20°C, Aliquoting information-Upon delivery aliquot, Storage information-Avoid freeze / thaw cycle

Protein kinase C gamma (PKC gamma) also known as PKCγ is a member of the protein kinase C (PKC) family. This protein has a molecular weight of approximately 78 kDa. Expressed mainly in the central nervous system PKC gamma participates in various signaling pathways. It exists as a serine/threonine kinase and plays a fundamental role in modulating cellular functions in neurons.
Biological function summary
PKC gamma acts in the regulation of neuronal signaling processes and is a component of the synaptic transmission machinery. It associates with other proteins to form complex structures that influence physiological processes. PKC gamma contributes significantly to the functions of the central nervous system by modulating synaptic plasticity which is essential for learning and memory.
Pathways
PKC gamma participates in the MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways which are critical in cell growth and survival. The protein interacts with other PKC isozymes and signaling molecules within these pathways playing a role in phosphorylating specific target proteins. These interactions facilitate the regulation of cell cycle progression and apoptosis indicating its importance in cellular homeostasis.
Abnormal PKC gamma activity associates with spinocerebellar ataxia type 14 and addiction-related behavior. Spinocerebellar ataxia results from mutations affecting PKC gamma which disrupts its normal function and leads to neurodegeneration. Additionally PKC gamma’s interaction with other proteins such as GABAA receptors in addiction highlights potential therapeutic targets for treatment.
