Opis

The discovery of the second-messenger functions of on serine and threonine residues. Although there is inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P 3) and 1,2-dia general agreement that PKC plays an important role in cylglycerol (DAG), the products of receptor-stimulated the initiation and/or modulation of receptor-linked re phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns( 4,5)P ) 2 sponses, the precise nature or molecular details of this hydrolysis, marked a turning point in the studies on the involvement remain elusive. There are several sugges mechanisms of mediation of functional hormone and tions of possible functions of PKC, including involve neurotransmitter responses.
