Cellular localization:
Cytoplasm . Endosome . Cell junction . Membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein . In the retina, localizes in the terminals of the rod bipolar cells (By similarity). Associates with endosomes (PubMed:9566925). Presence of KRIT1, CDH5 and RAP1B is required for its localization to the cell junction (PubMed:7597083). Colocalizes with VAMP2 and WDFY2 in intracellular vesicles (PubMed:17313651). Transiently translocates to the membrane of CA1 hippocampal cells in response to the induction of long term potentiation (By similarity). .; [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm .
Background:
Protein kinase C (PKC) zeta is a member of the PKC family of serine/threonine kinases which are involved in a variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation and secretion. Unlike the classical PKC isoenzymes which are calcium-dependent, PKC zeta exhibits a kinase activity which is independent of calcium and diacylglycerol but not of phosphatidylserine. Furthermore, it is insensitive to typical PKC inhibitors and cannot be activated by phorbol ester. Unlike the classical PKC isoenzymes, it has only a single zinc finger module. These structural and biochemical properties indicate that the zeta subspecies is related to, but distinct from other isoenzymes of PKC. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
