Phorbol esters are often used as activators of protein kinase C (PKC) to investigate the role of the kinase in cellular functions [ 1 ] . Pancreatic β-cells possess α, β1, δ and ε PKC isotypes [ 2 ] , and activation of PKC is known to synergize with glucose stimulation in insulin secretion [ 3 4 5 ] .
