Human PKC epsilon Antibody Summary

Species Reactivity

Human

Specificity

Detects human PKC epsilon in direct ELISAs. In direct ELISAs, less than 20% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) PKCδ and rhPKC iota is observed. No cross-reactivity with rhPKC alpha, beta 1, beta 2, gamma, eta, μ, nu, theta, or zeta is observed.

PKC epsilon in Human Lung Cancer Tissue. PKCe was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human lung cancer tissue using Mouse Anti-Human PKCe Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB5134) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # CTS013). Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm and nuclei of cancer cells. View our protocol for Chromogenic IHC Staining of Paraffin-embedded Tissue Sections.

Background: PKC epsilon

PKC epsilon (protein kinase C-epsilon) is an 87 kDa member of the novel PKC subfamily, AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family of enzymes. It is a widely-expressed Ca⁺⁺‑insensitive, phospholipid-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of multiple proteins. Human PKC epsilon is 737 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains two general regions: a non-Ca⁺⁺-binding plus lipid binding regulatory region (aa 1-99 and 169-292, respectively), and an ATP-binding catalytic domain (aa 408-668). Phosphorylation of PKC epsilon on Thr566, Ser368 and Ser729 activates the enzyme and increases its molecular weight to 92 kDa. One potential splice form shows a 114 aa substitution for aa 118-737. Over aa 580-737, human PKC epsilon is 98% and 99% aa identical to mouse and canine PKC epsilon, respectively.
