Protein kinase C (PKC) was initially identified by Nishizuka and coworkers1 as a nucleotide-independent, Ca2+-dependent serine kinase. Molecular cloning identified at least 11 isozymes of PKC that were further divided into subfamilies based on sequence homology and mode of stimulation. The classical PKCs (
, βI, βII, and
) are diacylglycerol (DAG) and calcium-dependent enzymes, whereas the novel PKCs (
,
,
, and
) require DAG, but not calcium, for activation. The atypical PKCs
