Description

General description

Cell-permeable activator of protein kinase C (PKC). Exhibits lower affinity for PKC_α than for other isozymes. Shown to mimic the effects of tumor-promoting phorbol diesters on mitogenesis and epidermal growth factor binding and action in intact cells.

Cell-permeable activator of protein kinase C; however, it has lower affinity for PKCa than for other isozymes. Shown to mimic the effects of tumor-promoting phorbol diesters on mitogenesis and epidermal growth factor binding and action in intact cells.
