Pathogenesis of insulin resistance in leptin-deficient ob/ob mice is obscure. In another form of diet-dependent obesity, high-fat-fed mice, hepatic insulin resistance involves ceramide-induced activation of atypical protein kinase C (aPKC), which ...

Human thrombopoiesis depends on Protein kinase Cδ/protein kinase Cε functional couple
A deeper understanding of the molecular events driving megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombopoiesis is essential to regulate in vitro and in vivo platelet production for clinical applications.

Roscovitine Targets, Protein Kinases and Pyridoxal Kinase [PDF]
(R)-Roscovitine (CYC202) is often referred to as a "selective inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases." Besides its use as a biological tool in cell cycle, neuronal functions, and apoptosis studies, it is currently evaluated as a potential drug to treat cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, viral infections, and glomerulonephritis.

Protein kinase function of pyruvate kinase M2 and cancer
Pyruvate kinase is a terminal enzyme in the glycolytic pathway, where it catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate and production of ATP via substrate level phosphorylation.

RESPONSE OF MDR1 AND PDR1 ATP-BINDING CASSETTE-TYPE TRANSPORTER GENES TO BIOTIC SIGNALS IN WHEAT FLAG LEAF TIPS [PDF]
ATP-binding cassette-type (ABC) transporters are highly implicated in detoxification processes but not restricted to detoxification processes. Several ABC transporters including wheat Lr34 were shown to function in plant defense responses and secretion ...

Disruption of pancreatic stellate cell myofibroblast phenotype promotes pancreatic tumor invasion
Summary: In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), differentiation of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) into myofibroblast-like cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can both promote and suppress tumor progression.

Phosphorylation is a universal language used by cells to relay information between and within cells. One family of kinases that plays a key role in transducing information is the protein kinase C family. Members of this family interpret information from signals that result in phospholipid hydrolysis; they communicate to substrates throughout the cell ...

In the nucleus, the spatiotemporal regulation of the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA-C) is orchestrated by an intrinsically disordered protein kinase inhibitor, PKI, which recruits the CRM1/RanGTP nuclear exporting complex.
