Summary
Enables calcium-dependent protein kinase C activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of vesicle-mediated transport. Located in several cellular components, including membrane raft; mitochondrion; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study hypertension. Biomarker of brain ischemia; congestive heart failure; and ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy; high grade glioma (multiple); large cell carcinoma; and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human PRKCA (protein kinase C alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
