pkc-1

Gene
pkc-1
Protein
Protein kinase C-like 1B
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Length
707 amino acids
Function
PKC is activated by diacylglycerol which in turn phosphorylates a range of cellular proteins. PKC also serves as the receptor for phorbol esters, a class of tumor promoters. Involved in neuropeptide secretion in motor axons. Likely to act via the extracellular signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinase (ERK/MAPK) pathway in the signaling response to various sensory neurons; temperature, odor, taste, and osmolality. Its role in regulation differs depending on the neuron in which it is acting; thermosensation in AFD neurons, osmolality in ASH neurons, olfactory perception in AWA and AWC neurons. Promotes dauer formation mediated by the insulin/IGF pathway. Required for resistance to antimitotic toxins.
Similarity
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. PKC subfamily.
