Abstract
Insulin is known to rapidly stimulate and/or translocate Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (conventional PKC; cPKC) in rat adipocytes. Presently we examined whether insulin also stimulates/translocates Ca(2+)-independent, phospholipid-dependent protein kinase (novel PKC; nPKC). Total Mono Q column-elutable nPKC (like cPKC) activities were decreased in cytosolic and increased in membrane fractions with insulin treatment. Immunoblot study of novel PKC epsilon also showed insulin-induced translocation of immunoreactive PKC from cytosol to membrane, similar to the translocation of cPKC, PKC beta. These results suggest that nPKC has an important role in insulin-induced signal transduction.Entities:
