Three monoclonal antibodies were prepared against rat brain soluble protein kinase C. Two of the antibodies, CKI-97 (IgG2b subclass) and CKII-90 (IgG1 subclass), showed weak binding to native protein kinase C. The third antibody, CKI-33 (IgG2b subclass), showed no binding. However, the mixture of CKI-97, CKII-90, and CKI-33 exhibited much stronger binding activity to this protein kinase than any of the antibodies alone. Although none of these antibodies showed protein kinase C-neutralizing activity, Western blot analysis indicated that these antibodies reacted specifically with protein kinase C, presumably its subspecies, that is present predominantly in nervous tissues. Immunocytochemical studies shows that these antibodies can be used for identification of this enzyme in nervous tissues. In rat Purkinje cells, the immunoreactive material was present throughout the cytoplasm, including dendrites and axons, but was poorly represented in the cell nucleus. In cerebellum, the localization of protein kinase C appears to be very similar to that of cGMP-dependent protein kinase.

D011232 Chemical Precipitation The formation of a solid in a solution as a result of a chemical reaction or the aggregation of soluble substances into complexes large enough to fall out of solution. Precipitation, Chemical
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.

D002531 Cerebellum The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills. Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
