Protein kinase Calpha puts the hand cuffs on epidermal keratinocyte proliferation.

29 Sep 2009 As the predominant cellular receptor for phorbol esters, protein kinase C (PKC) is assumed to play a role in epidermal carcinogenesis. Nevertheless, determining its exact role in keratinocytes has been difficult because of the existence of multiple ... Read more...

Phospholipase d promotes lipid microdomain-associated signaling events in mast cells.

28 Sep 2009 Initial IgE-dependent signaling events are associated with detergent-resistant membrane microdomains. Following Ag stimulation, the IgE-receptor (Fc(epsilon)RI ) accumulates within these domains. This facilitates the phosphorylation of Fc(epsilon)RI ... Read more...

The cytosolic subunit p67phox of the NADPH-oxidase complex does not bind NADPH.

10 Sep 2009 The NADPH-oxidase of phagocytic cells is a multicomponent enzyme that generates superoxide. It comprises a membrane flavocytochrome b558 and four cytosolic proteins; p67phox, p47phox, p40phox and Rac. The NADPH-binding site of this complex was shown ... Read more...
