Abstract excerpt
Protein kinase Czeta (PKCzeta) is an atypical PKC isoform that plays an important role in supporting cell survival but the mechanism(s) involved is not fully understood. Bax is a major member of the Bcl-2 family that is required for apoptotic cell death. Because Bax is extensively co-expressed with PKCzeta in both small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells, it is possible that Bax...
