title: Identification and cellular localization of protein kinase C isoforms in cultures of rat type-1 astrocytes.
abstract: We have examined which isoforms of protein kinase C were present in rat brain astrocytes and found that: (1) the total of calcium-independent isoforms was greater than the total of calcium-dependent isoforms; (2) there were differences in the intracellular distribution of different isoforms; and (3) the abundance of total protein kinase C was greater in astrocytes from cortex than astrocytes from diencephalon.
