1-Oleoyl-2-acetyl-glycerol which activates Ca2+-activated phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, induced the superoxide-production of human neutrophils, while other diacylglycerols did not. The induction was independent of extracellular calcium and did not accompany the increase of the intracellular free calcium. The superoxide-release by the diacylglycerol was inhibited by retinal, the inhibitor of the protein kinase. The diacylglycerol stimulated the phosphorylation of at least 4 proteins in intact neutrophils, the phosphorylation of which was stimulated by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, the activator of the protein kinase. These observations indicate the possible involvement of the kinase in the induction process.

D009829 Oleic Acids A group of fatty acids that contain 18 carbon atoms and a double bond at the omega 9 carbon. Octadecenoic Acids,Acids, Octadecenoic,Acids, Oleic
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.
