NCIt definition : Protein kinase C delta type (676 aa, 78 kDa) is encoded by the human PRKCD gene.
This protein plays a role in the regulation of apoptosis.;
NCIt note : Protein kinase C delta type is cleaved by caspase-3 to yield a regulatory subunit
and a catalytic subunit and results in activation of kinase activity. The catalytic
subunit is also known as sphingosine-dependent protein kinase-1 (SDK1). (UniProt); Protein kinase C delta type may possess tyrosine-protein kinase activity. (UniProt);
