title: Modulation of the activity of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor by phorbol myristate acetate.
abstract: Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) weakly activates Na+/H+ exchange in NR-6 cells. Simultaneously, PMA blocks the activation of Na+/H+ exchange by platelet-derived growth factor or by serum. Phorbol esters that do not activate protein kinase C do not show this metabolic response. We conclude that activation of Na+/H+ exchange by platelet-derived growth factor or serum does not require the intermediate activation of protein kinase C. We postulate from this and previous observations that a major role of protein kinase C is to act as an inhibitor of the activity of cell surface receptors, in particular mitogen receptors.
