Abstract excerpt
Keratinocyte apoptosis induced by UV radiation is a major protective mechanism from skin photocarcinogenesis. The induction of apoptosis by UV radiation, as well as a variety of genotoxic stimuli, involves the activation of PKC-delta by caspase-3-mediated cleavage in its hinge region, thus generating a constitutively active catalytic fragment. To determine the role of PKC-delta cleavage in UV apoptosis signaling,...
