PKC
Protein Kinase C Alpha (PKCα) is a serine/threonine kinase involved in diverse cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. It plays a critical role in signal transduction pathways downstream of G-protein-coupled receptors and receptor tyrosine kinases[1]. PKCα regulates cell survival and growth through activation of the MAPK/ERK and PI3K/AKT pathways[2]. In cancer, PKCα is often overexpressed and contributes to tumor progression, particularly in breast and prostate cancers[3]. It also modulates vascular smooth muscle contraction and endothelial function, implicating it in cardiovascular diseases. Notably, PKCα exhibits distinct functions compared to other PKC isoforms due to its unique subcellular localization and substrate specificity[4]. Targeting PKCα with selective inhibitors such as Gö6976 has shown therapeutic potential in preclinical models of cancer and inflammatory disorders[5].

Sotrastaurin acetate
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-10540CAS No.: 908351-31-5Synonyms: AEB071 acetateSotrastaurin (AEB071) acetate is a selective, orally active PKC inhibitor. Sotrastaurin acetate inactivates NF-κB by inhibiting PKC α, β, θ, γ subtypes, thereby reducing the transcription levels of immune response-related genes. Sotrastaurin acetate effectively inhibits alloreactive T cell proliferation, conventional T cell activation, as well as the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and B lymphocytes. Sotrastaurin acetate also maintains the functional and phenotypic stability of regulatory T cells, enhances Foxp3 expression and restores the balance of helper T lymphocytes. Sotrastaurin acetate can prolong the survival time of allografts, and alleviate inflammatory responses and myasthenic symptoms by reducing anti-AChR antibody levels. Sotrastaurin acetate is widely used in studies related to kidney transplantation, psoriasis and myasthenia gravis.
