PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	two zinc-dependent phorbol-ester and Dag binding C1 domain
	a C1b domain sufficient for translocation to the nuclear envelope, and that could also confer protection against etoposide-induced cell death
	one C2, a consensus ATP-binding site, a catalytic kinase
	a conserved cysteine-rich domains
	a PIF domain
	a Golgi luminal domain is potentially the major functional domain
	a protein kinase domain

	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,Golgi
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,nuclear envelope
text	epithelial specific isoform, localized at the cytoplasm and ER/Golgi
	translocation to the nuclear envelope, and its spatial regulation could be important for its cellular functions including effects on cell death

basic FUNCTION	calcium-independent and phospholipids-dependent protein kinase, mediating the transcription activation of the transglutaminase 1 (TGM1) gene
	having cellular functions including effects on cell cycle control and involvement in tumor promotion, regulated by translocation to the nuclear envelope
	mediates glioblastoma cell proliferation through the Akt and MTOR signaling pathways
	regulates occludin phosphorylation and epithelial tight junction integrity
	positively regulates agonist-induced thromboxane generation with no effects on platelet aggregation
	confers protection against apoptosis induced by the DNA damaging agents, UVC irradiation and the anti-cancer drug--Camptothecin
	anti-apoptotic protein, acting as a negative regulator of JNK activity
	play important roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, migration and tumorigenesis
	increased JUND in keratinocytes
	with PRKCD, differently regulate the expression of loricrin and Jun family proteins in keratinocytes
	is important for TLR2-mediated ABCA1 expression

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	FEZ1
	intercting with CEBPA and MAPK13 (can regulate keratinocyte differentiation by activating the MAP kinase MAPK13 (p38delta)-activated protein kinase cascade that targets CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (CEBPA))
	activation of PRKCH and PLD2 signaling pathway is an important mechanism for regulation of TLR2-induced ABCA1 expression

EFHD2 (PRKCB1/PRKCH-inducible gene that modulates mast cell activation through NF-kappaB-dependent pathway

Other

regulated at the translational level both under normal growth conditions and during stress imposed by amino acid starvation, the latter causing a marked increase in its protein levels
