Example sentences for: pkc
How can you use “pkc” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The Wnt/Ca 2+pathway has been shown to increase intracellular Ca 2+levels in zebrafish embryos [ 4 ] and to activate PKC and CamKII in Xenopus embryos [ 5 6 ] as well as in human melanomas [ 7 ] . Moreover, it may activate Cdc42 [ 8 ] and JNK [ 9 ] . It is important to emphasize that whether Wnts activate distinct responses and likely pathways is context-dependent, and thus in other contexts a given Wnt may activate another pathway.
When co-expressed with human frizzled-5, Wnt-5a can induce a secondary axis in Xenopus [ 10 ] . In other assays, however, Wnt-5a along with rat frizzled 2 (Rfz-2) increases intracellular Ca 2+levels and activates PKC and CamKII [ 4 5 6 ] . The activation of Wnt/Ca 2+signaling by Wnt-5a and Rfz-2 seems to be antagonistic to the canonical Wnt signaling pathway.
The work presented here adds to the emerging evidence that PKA and PKC signaling at the NMJ and adjacent intercostal muscle is compartmentalized.
1. A few G-protein coupled receptors such as cannabinoid receptor, GABA-B R2 receptor, and olfactory receptor-like protein (SCRD-9), as well as molecules important in signaling such as Galpha(olf), Guanine nucleotide releasing factor, and CAM kinase I beta 2, CAM kinase II beta, and PKC beta were also identified to be expressed more in the dorsal spinal cord.
The sequence analysis of the Pgm alleles reveals a novel potential site in Pgm Sfor phosphorylation by PKC; however, the potential significance of this change is unknown.
