NCIt definition : Protein kinase C iota type (596 aa, 68 kDa) is encoded by the human PRKCI gene. This
protein plays a role in serine/threonine phosphorylation.;
NCIt note : Protein kinase C iota type is necessary for BCL-ABL-mediated resistance to drug-induced
apoptosis and protects leukemia cells against drug-induced apoptosis. (EntrezGene
and UniProt); Protein kinase C iota type is an atypical PKC, meaning that the kinase activity is
independent of calcium, phosphatidylserine, phorbol esters or diacylglycerol. (UniProt);
