protein kinase C, epsilon

Gene Summary

Enables several functions, including SH3 domain binding activity; diacylglycerol-dependent, calcium-independent serine/threonine kinase activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to platelet-derived growth factor stimulus; negative regulation of mitochondrial calcium ion concentration; and negative regulation of mitochondrial membrane potential. Located in Golgi membrane and T-tubule. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; neuromuscular junction; and presynaptic cytosol. Used to study hypertension. Biomarker of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human PRKCE (protein kinase C epsilon). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
