Abstract excerpt
Prolonged activation of protein kinase C (PKC) types alpha and beta by tumor-promoting phorbol esters leads to desensitization of the phorbol ester response, downregulation of protein kinase C activity and depletion of the protein kinase C polypeptide. When the gamma isoenzyme of PKC is transiently expressed in COS-1 cells and exposed to phorbol esters, PKC-Gamma is downregulated in COS cells although these cells...
