Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionpkc-2 encodes protein kinases similar to the classical protein kinase C family of Ca2+/diacylglycerol-stimulated kinases; when expressed in insect cells, one PKC-2 isoform exhibits Ca2+-dependent serine phosphorylation; PKC-2 isoforms are expressed in neurons, the intestine, muscles cells, and the somatic distal gonad, including the spermatheca; in neurons, PKC-2 localizes to the cell body and to neuronal processes; PKC-2 is expressed at low levels in embryos, with expression increasing 10-fold during the L1 larval stage, and then continuing at lower levels throughout post-embryonic development; fractionation experiments indicate that in young adults and mid-L1 and L2 larvae, PKC-2 isoforms are nearly evenly distributed between the cytosol and organelles and/or the cytoskeleton; in egg-laying adults, approximately 70% of PKC-2 is found in the cytosol.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002733

Automated_descriptionEnables calcium-dependent protein kinase C activity and protein serine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; neuron projection; and neuronal cell body. Expressed in body wall musculature; intestine; neurons; somatic nervous system; and tail ganglion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; brain disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and ductal carcinoma in situ. Is an ortholog of human PRKCA (protein kinase C alpha) and PRKCB (protein kinase C beta).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkThe kin-11 gene was merged into this gene following suggestion by Jonathan Hodgkin. krb 27/02/02
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
