Application Notes
Western Blot Protocol: 1. After SDS-PAGE (on either 4-15% gradient gels or single percentage gels. such at 12% gels) and electrophoretic transfer to PVDF membrane. block the membrane overnight with 2% normal goat serum in TBS/Tween-20 buffer.
2. Wash x 2 with TBS/Tween-20.
3. Apply the rabbit polyclonal antibody after dilution to at least 1:400 (Note: higher dilutions may be needed). Use 2% normal goat serum in TBS/Tween-20 as buffer for the primary antibody. Let the primary antibody bind for 2-4 hours.
4. Wash x 3 with TBS/Tween-20.
5. Apply affinity purified HRP-goat anti-rabbit IgG antiserum diluted 1:2500 (dilution may vary depending upon supplier) in 2% normal goat serum in TBS/Tween-20. Incubate 1-2 hours. Note: greater sensitivity may be achieved using ABC techniques.
6. Wash x 4 for 5 minute/wash with TBS/Tween-20.
7. Develop color using the enhanced DAB reaction.

The antiserum was raised in a rabbit which was immunized with synthetic Protein Kinase C? [664-672] covalently attached onto a carrier protein. Rehydrate the lyophilized antiserum with 0.1 ml of 10 mg/ml BSA is PBS for the equivalent of whole antiserum. or with additional buffer for more dilute antiserum. This antiserum has been found to stain specifically PKC? in western immunoblots of whole rat brain homogenates and to stain specifically intracellular regions of fixed cultured cells by indirect immunofluorescence. The antiserum was tested for recognition of other Protein Kinase C isozymes by ELISA techniques.

NCBI Description

Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that can be activated by calcium and the second messenger diacylglycerol. PKC family members phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways. PKC family members also serve as major receptors for phorbol esters, a class of tumor promoters. Each member of the PKC family has a specific expression profile and is believed to play a distinct role in cells. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the PKC family members. This kinase has been reported to play roles in many different cellular processes, such as cell adhesion, cell transformation, cell cycle checkpoint, and cell volume control. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this kinase may be a fundamental regulator of cardiac contractility and Ca(2+) handling in myocytes. [provided by RefSeq]

Uniprot Description

Function: This is a calcium-activated, phospholipid-dependent, serine- and threonine-specific enzyme. May play a role in cell motility by phosphorylating CSPG4. Ref.9PKC 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. Ref.9

Catalytic activity: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Cofactor: Binds 3 calcium ions per subunit. The ions are bound to the C2 domain

Subunit structure: Recruited in a circadian manner into a nuclear complex which also includes BMAL1 and GNB2L1/RACK1

By similarity. Interacts with ADAP1/CENTA1, CSPG4 and PRKCABP. Binds to SDPR in the presence of phosphatidylserine. Interacts with PICK1 (via PDZ domain). Interacts with TRIM41. Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.13

Subcellular location: Cytoplasm

By similarity. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein

By similarity. Nucleus

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. PKC subfamily.Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.Contains 1 C2 domain.Contains 2 phorbol-ester/DAG-type zinc fingers.Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Product Notes

The PRKCA prkca (Catalog #AAA352208) is an Antibody and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's PKC Alpha can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot. Western Blot Protocol: 1. After SDS-PAGE (on either 4-15% gradient gels or single percentage gels. such at 12% gels) and electrophoretic transfer to PVDF membrane. block the membrane overnight with 2% normal goat serum in TBS/Tween-20 buffer. 2. Wash x 2 with TBS/Tween-20. 3. Apply the rabbit polyclonal antibody after dilution to at least 1:400 (Note: higher dilutions may be needed). Use 2% normal goat serum in TBS/Tween-20 as buffer for the primary antibody. Let the primary antibody bind for 2-4 hours. 4. Wash x 3 with TBS/Tween-20. 5. Apply affinity purified HRP-goat anti-rabbit IgG antiserum diluted 1:2500 (dilution may vary depending upon supplier) in 2% normal goat serum in TBS/Tween-20. Incubate 1-2 hours. Note: greater sensitivity may be achieved using ABC techniques. 6. Wash x 4 for 5 minute/wash with TBS/Tween-20. 7. Develop color using the enhanced DAB reaction. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the PRKCA prkca for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "PKC Alpha, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
