Epidermal growth factor (EGF) or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) stimulated mouse embryo palate mesenchyme (MEPM) cells to incorporate [32P]O(3-)4 into a protein with an apparent molecular weight of 80 kDa, in vitro. Agents known to elevate intracellular levels of cyclic AMP did not stimulate phosphorylation of this phosphoprotein. Since there is a significant amount of evidence obtained with other cells indicating that phosphorylation of such an 80-kDa phosphoprotein reflects specifically the activation of protein kinase C in response to PMA and other agents, including mitogens, these findings raise the possibility that EGF may activate protein kinase C in MEPM cells.

D010750 Phosphoproteins Phosphoprotein
D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.
