Recombinant full-length human PKC alpha was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. PKC alpha is a member of the protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that can be activated by calcium and the second messenger diacylglycerol. PKC alpha is reported to play roles in many different cellular processes, such as cell adhesion, cell transformation, cell cycle checkpoint and cell volume control. PKC alpha has been assigned to the chromosome region 17q22-q23.2 and has been identified as a fundamental regulator of cardiac contractility and Ca2+ handling in myocytes. Kinase Enzyme System contains: Kinase: PKC alpha, 10ug (Human, recombinant full-length). MW: ~103kDa. Substrate: CREBtide (KRREILSRRPSYR); derived from human CREB1 isoform A (amino acid 109-121). Other: Reaction Buffer, DTT, Lipid solution. PKC alpha NCBI Database Entry: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/5578/.
