title: Lack of correlation between translocation and biological effects mediated by protein kinase C: an appraisal.
abstract: Protein kinase C is involved in the mechanism of action of hormones, growth factors, mitogens and tumour promoters. The correlation between the extent of the biological effects mediated by protein kinase C and its fractional activation shows cell type specific patterns of behaviour. The discrepancy between enzyme activity and biological effects elicited by protein kinase C is particularly relevant to lymphoblastic cells. In B cells, the full expression of some biological responses mediated by protein kinase C may be achieved by activation of less than 5% of the enzyme activity.
