The protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine-threonine kinases comprises at least eight
members. These are differentially expressed, show varying affinities for activators such as
Ca2+ and lipid species, and are therefore thought to play wide-ranging roles in the
regulation of such cellular processes as differentiation, growth, and secretion. The aim of this
study was to identify new PKC isoforms in the insulin-secreting cell line RINm5F that might
be activated by the alterations in lipid metabolism that accompany nutrient-stimulated insulin …
