Background of the antigen
Protein Kinase C delta (PKC delta) is a 78 kDa member of the novel group (nPKCs: sensitive to diacylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, and phorbol esters) of the PKC family of serine/threonine kinases that are involved in a wide range of physiological processes including mitogenesis, cell survival and transcriptional regulation. PKC delta is an ubiquitously expressed PKC isozyme that has been implicated in the regulation of multiple cellular processes including cell cycle progression and apoptosis.
