Description:
Arachidonate and other unsaturated long-chain fatty acids were found to activate protein kinase C from human neutrophils. Kinase activation by arachidonate required calcium and was enhanced by diolein but did not require exogenous phosphatidylserine. Submaximal levels of arachidonate also enhanced the affinity of the kinase for calcium during activation by phosphatidylserine. Thus the release of arachidonate, which is triggered in many cell types by ligand-receptor interactions, could play a second messenger role in the regulation of cellular function by activation of protein kinase C.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McPhail, L C -- Clayton, C C -- Snyderman, R -- 5PO1CA29589/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- 5RO-1DEO3738/DE/NIDCR NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 May 11;224(4649):622-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6231726" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
