Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase C (PKC), a Ca(2+)/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase, is known as a key enzyme in various cellular responses, including apoptosis. However, the functional role of PKC in apoptosis has not been clarified. In this study, we focused on the involvement of PKCdelta in ceramide-induced apoptosis in HeLa cells and examined the importance of spatiotemporal activation of the specific PKC subtype in...
