FunFam 71: Protein kinase C

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Protein kinase C. [EC: 2.7.11.13]
ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.
  • A family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that depend on lipids for activity.
  • They can be activated by calcium but have a requirement for the second messenger diacylglycerol.
  • Members of this group of enzymes phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cell- signaling pathways.
  • Members of the protein kinase C family also serve as major receptors for phorbol esters, a class of tumor promoters.
  • Formerly EC 2.7.1.37.
