Function

Calcium-activated, phospholipid- and diacylglycerol (DAG)-dependent serine/threonine-protein kinase that plays diverse roles in neuronal cells and eye tissues, such as regulation of the neuronal receptors GRIA4/GLUR4 and GRIN1/NMDAR1, modulation of receptors and neuronal functions related to sensitivity to opiates, pain and alcohol, mediation of synaptic function and cell survival after ischemia, and inhibition of gap junction activity after oxidative stress. Binds and phosphorylates GRIA4/GLUR4 glutamate receptor and regulates its function by increasing plasma membrane-associated GRIA4 expression. In primary cerebellar neurons treated with the agonist 3,5-dihyidroxyphenylglycine, functions downstream of the metabotropic glutamate receptor GRM5/MGLUR5 and phosphorylates GRIN1/NMDAR1 receptor which plays a key role in synaptic plasticity, synaptogenesis, excitotoxicity, memory acquisition and learning. May be involved in the regulation of hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP), but may be not necessary for the process of synaptic plasticity. May be involved in desensitization of mu-type opioid receptor-mediated G-protein activation in the spinal cord, and may be critical for the development and/or maintenance of morphine-induced reinforcing effects in the limbic forebrain. May modulate the functionality of mu-type-opioid receptors by participating in a signaling pathway which leads to the phosphorylation and degradation of opioid receptors. May also contributes to chronic morphine-induced changes in nociceptive processing. Plays a role in neuropathic pain mechanisms and contributes to the maintenance of the allodynia pain produced by peripheral inflammation. Plays an important role in initial sensitivity and tolerance to ethanol, by mediating the behavioral effects of ethanol as well as the effects of this drug on the GABA(A) receptors. During and after cerebral ischemia modulate neurotransmission and cell survival in synaptic membranes, and is involved in insulin-induced inhibition of necrosis, an important mechanism for minimizing ischemic injury. Required for the elimination of multiple climbing fibers during innervation of Purkinje cells in developing cerebellum. Is activated in lens epithelial cells upon hydrogen peroxide treatment, and phosphorylates connexin-43 (GJA1/CX43), resulting in disassembly of GJA1 gap junction plaques and inhibition of gap junction activity which could provide a protective effect against oxidative stress (By similarity). Phosphorylates p53/TP53 and promotes p53/TP53-dependent apoptosis in response to DNA damage. Involved in the phase resetting of the cerebral cortex circadian clock during temporally restricted feeding. Stabilizes the core clock component ARNTL/BMAL1 by interfering with its ubiquitination, thus suppressing its degradation, resulting in phase resetting of the cerebral cortex clock (By similarity).

Activity summary

Protein kinase C gamma (PKC gamma) also known as PKCγ is a member of the protein kinase C (PKC) family. This protein has a molecular weight of approximately 78 kDa. Expressed mainly in the central nervous system PKC gamma participates in various signaling pathways. It exists as a serine/threonine kinase and plays a fundamental role in modulating cellular functions in neurons.

Biological function summary

PKC gamma acts in the regulation of neuronal signaling processes and is a component of the synaptic transmission machinery. It associates with other proteins to form complex structures that influence physiological processes. PKC gamma contributes significantly to the functions of the central nervous system by modulating synaptic plasticity which is essential for learning and memory.

Pathways

PKC gamma participates in the MAPK and PI3K signaling pathways which are critical in cell growth and survival. The protein interacts with other PKC isozymes and signaling molecules within these pathways playing a role in phosphorylating specific target proteins. These interactions facilitate the regulation of cell cycle progression and apoptosis indicating its importance in cellular homeostasis.

Associated diseases and disorders

Abnormal PKC gamma activity associates with spinocerebellar ataxia type 14 and addiction-related behavior. Spinocerebellar ataxia results from mutations affecting PKC gamma which disrupts its normal function and leads to neurodegeneration. Additionally PKC gamma’s interaction with other proteins such as GABAA receptors in addiction highlights potential therapeutic targets for treatment.
