Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase C (PKC) is a Ca++- and phospholipid-dependent protein kinase that plays an important role in signal transduction pathways that regulate cell growth. Tumor cells selected for a multidrug resistant (MDR) phenotype often express elevated levels of PKC activity. To directly test whether PCK overexpression can produce an MDR phenotype, we studied rat embryo fibroblasts that were infected with the...
