Recombinant Human PKC epsilon/PKCE Protein (His Tag)

Protein Kinase C Epsilon type is a member of the serine- and threonine-specific protein kinase family that can be activated by calcium and the second messenger diacylglycerol. Protein Kinase C Epsilon contains these domains: one AGC-kinase C-terminal domain; one C2 domain; one protein kinase domain and two phorbol-ester/DAG-type zinc fingers. Protein Kinase C Epsilon phosphorylate a variety of protein targets and has been identified to participate in diverse cellular signaling pathways. It has many different cellular functions; such as neuron channel activation; apoptosis; cardioprotection from ischemia; heat shock response; as well as insulin exocytosis. Protein Kinase C Epsilon also serves as the receptor for phorbol esters; a class of tumor promoters.
