Abstract excerpt
We have overproduced the Ca(2+)-independent protein kinase C isoform, nPKC epsilon, in Rat 6 embryo fibroblasts, and examined the effects of this novel isoform on cell growth and transformation. As compared to vector control cell lines expressing only the hygromycin resistance gene, the nPKC epsilon overproducing cell lines exhibited a 7-13-fold increase in Ca(2+)-independent enzyme activity. Detailed analysis of...
