Strain differences among inbred mice in protein kinase C activity. 1984

A M Malkinson, and K Conway, and S Bartlett, and M S Butley, and C Conroy

A protein kinase was identified in mouse organs whose activity is strictly dependent on the presence of Ca++ and phosphatidylserine when assayed at pH 6, and thus has the characteristics of protein kinase C. The relative order of specific activities was brain greater than spleen greater than lung greater than heart, an order similar to that found previously for rat organs. Mice from seven strains had the same level of protein kinase C activity, but strain A/J had half as much activity in each organ as did the other strains. F1 hybrid mice resulting from a cross between A/J and BALB/cByJ mice had levels of activity intermediate to the parental strains, indicating additive inheritance of this genetic difference.

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.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
