Protein kinase C has been purified from in vitro cultures of A7r5 vascular smooth muscle cells. Three substrates have been employed for the kinetic analysis of the enzyme, Histone III-S, FKKSFKL-NH2 (analogous of the pseudo-substrate of the enzyme) and MBP4-14 (part of basic myelin protein) protein. The enzyme activity depends not only on the PKC-specific sequence motif, common to the three substrates, but also on additional structural motifs, which may be important also in governing the substrate selectivity of the enzyme in vivo.

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.
