PKCγ also known as PKCgamma, PRKCG is a member of the protein kinase C family. PKCγ plays a crucial role in regulating numerous cellular processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. A C1 domain that binds diacylglycerol and phorbol esters characterizes PKCγ structure, allowing activation in response to specific signaling molecules, making PKCγ essential for mediating cellular responses to growth factors and hormones. Distinct expression patterns of PKCγ across different tissues highlight PKCγ importance in tissue-specific signaling pathways, and PKCγ ability to interact with various proteins, including Ras and Rho GTPases, underscores PKCγ role in modulating cytoskeletal dynamics and cell motility. PKCγ versatility in cellular signaling makes PKCγ a significant target for research into cancer and other diseases, where PKCγ dysregulation can lead to altered cell behavior and contribute to tumorigenesis.
