Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase C (PKC) has been implicated in colon carcinogenesis in humans and in rodent models. However, little is known about the specific role of individual PKC isozymes in this process. We recently demonstrated that elevated expression of PKC betaII in the colonic epithelium induces hyperproliferation in vivo (N. R. Murray et al., J. Cell Biol., 145: 699-711, 1999). Because hyperproliferation is a major...
