蛋白激酶Cγ亚型(PKCγ)为PKC家族一员,它能在磷脂酰丝氨酸存在下被钙离子和二酰甘油激活,主要表达于中枢神经系统和外周神经元。PKCγ参与疼痛过敏和转导、海马区长时易化的改变、空间记忆学习和浦肯野细胞运动协调等。PKCγ基因点突变可诱发遗传性色素性视网膜炎、脊髓小脑共济失调和肿瘤等。
Protein kinase Cγ(PKCγ)is a member of PKC family,which is activated by calcium ion and lipid diacylglycerol in the presence of phosphatidylserine.It is mainly expressed in the central nervous system and peripheral neurons.PKCγ participates the process of hyperalgesia,pain transduction,changes of LTP in the hippocampus,spatial learning memory,and movement coordination of Purkinje cells.Point mutation of PKCγ gene can induce inherited retinitis pigmentosa,spinocerebellar ataxia and tumors.
