Members of the Protein Kinase C (PKC) family of homologous serine/threonine protein kinases are involved in a number of processes such as
cell growth, cell differentiation, and cytokine secretion. PKCs are activated by Ca2+, phospholipids, diacylglycerol, phorbol esters, and
proteolysis. PRK1 (PKC-Related Kinase 1, also named PKN) was originally identified in human hippocampus as a novel protein kinase with
sequence homology to PKC. PRK1 contains 942 amino acids with an apparent molecular weight of 120 kDa. Although activated by limited
proteolysis, PRK1 is not activated by Ca2+/diacylglycerol or phorbol esters. However, PRK1 is activated by phospholipids and arachidonic
acid. PRK1 may regulate cytoskeletal changes since it binds to Rho-GTP and becomes phosphorylated in vivo, coincidentally with the
formation of focal adhesions and stress fibers.

注意事项:
1.Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2.Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
