Recombinant Human Protein Kinase C, Theta, GST-tagged, Active

• Cat.No.: PRKCQ-408H
• Product Overview: Recombinant full-length human PRKCQ was expressed bybaculovirusinSf9 insect cellsusing an N-terminal GST tag. MW=110 kDa.

Specification

• Cat. No.: PRKCQ-408H
• Description: Protein Kinase C, theta (PKCθ) is important component in the intracellular signaling cascade. Recent studies have suggested that local accumulation of fat metabolites inside skeletal muscle may activate a serine kinase cascade involving PKC-theta leading to defects in insulin signaling and glucose transport in skeletal muscle. Insulin resistance plays a primary role in the development of type 2 diabetes and may be related to alterations in fat metabolism. PKC-theta is a crucial component mediating fat-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
• Source: Sf9 insect cells using baculovirus.
