Article Title: Specifying protein kinase C functions in melanoma
Abstract: The protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine protein kinases is a heterogeneous group of enzymes receiving and integrating signals involved in both normal melanocyte biology and melanoma pathology. Alterations in PKC enzyme expression and activation contribute to the malignant phenotype of melanoma in both oncogenic and tumor suppressive roles. Delineating the diverse and often context-dependent functions of PKC enzymes in melanocyte/melanoma biology is key to capitalize on these kinases as drug targets. This review summarizes several of the diverse functions of PKC in melanocyte and melanoma biology with a focus on PKC enzyme regulation and function. Copyright 2012 John Wiley Sons A/S.
