Background Information
PKC eta is a member of the protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that can phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets known to be involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways. PKC η is predominantly expressed in squamous cell epithelia and induces terminal differentiation of keratinocytes. PKC η that is endogenously expressed or overexpressed is found to associate with the cyclin E/cdk2/p21 complex in keratinocytes of mice and humans (1).
