Western blot of purified anti-PKCα antibody (clone BL28591). Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 20 µg of human brain lysate; Lane 3: 20 µg of mouse brain lysate; Lane 4: 20 µg of rat brain lysate. The blot was incubated with 0.5 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP Goat anti-mouse IgG Antibody (Cat. No. 405306). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system. -
IHC staining of purified anti-PKCα antibody (clone BL28591) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Sodium Citrate H.I.E.R., the tissue was incubated with 0.5 µg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C. BioLegend’s Ultra Streptavidin (USA) HRP Detection Kit (Multi-Species, DAB, Cat. No. 929901) was used for detection followed by hematoxylin counterstaining, according to the protocol provided. The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 µm -

Protein Kinase C Alpha (PKCα) is a member of protein kinase C family, which is calcium-activated, phospholipid- and diacylglycerol (DAG)-dependent serine/threonine-protein kinase. It has been reported to be involved in many cellular processes including cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, migration and adhesion by directly phosphorylating targets such as BCL2, CSPG4, TNNT2/CTNT, or activating signaling pathways such as MAPK1/3 (ERK1/2) and RAP1GAP. PKCα is involved in neural development and transactivation of EGFR by gastrin, and it is also associated with diseases including chordoid glioma and myotonic dystrophy Type 1.
