Protein Kinase C (PKC)

Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitors and activators act on a family of lipid-regulated serine/threonine kinases. Conventional PKC isoforms require calcium and diacylglycerol, novel isoforms need only diacylglycerol, and atypical isoforms respond to neither. Tumor-promoting phorbol esters mimic diacylglycerol and were shown in 1982 to activate PKC directly. 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) is the standard activator of this kind, and ingenol mebutate also activates several isoforms. Staurosporine was first described as a PKC inhibitor but blocks a wide range of protein kinases. Enzastaurin is selective for PKCβ, while GO6983 and Ro 31-8220 mesylate inhibit multiple conventional and novel isoforms.

    Methyl arachidonate

    Synonyms: Arachidonic acid methyl ester

    Methyl arachidonate is an activator of protein kinase C, functioning as an orally active substrate that is subject to esterase-mediated hydrolysis. It promotes the indirect activation of protein kinase C through the generation of eicosanoid metabolites from the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway, demonstrating differential effects via cyclooxygenase products at low concentrations and lipoxygenase products at elevated concentrations. This compound is valuable for investigations into mechanisms related to lipodystrophy.
