Abstract excerpt
A nonmetastatic human mammary epithelial cell line (MCF-10A) was engineered to overproduce protein kinase Calpha (PKCalpha) so as to investigate a role for this isoform in the metastatic phenotype. PKCalpha transfectants (clone 26alpha) expressed an 8-fold higher level of PKCalpha protein without compensatory alterations in other isoforms. Clone 26alpha proliferated slowly (accumulating in G1 of the cell cycle)...
