- Title
Protein kinase Cε: function in neurons.
- Authors
Shirai, Yasuhito; Adachi, Naoko; Saito, Naoaki
- Abstract
Protein kinase Cε is expressed at higher levels in the brain compared to other tissues such as the heart and kidney, suggesting that it plays an important role in the nervous system. Several neural functions of PKCε, including neurotransmitter release and ion channel regulation, have been identified using PKCε knockout mice. In this review, we focus on the involvement of protein kinase Cε in neurite outgrowth, presynaptic regulation, alcohol actions, ischemic preconditioning and pain.
