“…Also important to MC function are certain nPKC isoforms (PKCδ, -ε, -θ and -η), which are activated by DAG by binding to the C1 domain but which are lacking functional C2 domains and, thus, are lacking Ca 2+ responsiveness (Newton, 1995). In addition to DAG, activators of PKCδ include various agents such as phorbol esters, ultraviolet or ionizing radiation, growth factors and ROS (Lee & Yang, 2010;Yoshida, 2007). PKCβ and -δ, which belong to cPKC and nPKC, respectively, are particularly important in IgE-mediated MC degranulation (Cho, Woo, Yoon, & Kim, 2004;Nechushtan, Leitges, Cohen, Kay, & Razin, 2000;Wolfe, Chang, Rivera, & Fewtrell, 1996;Yanase et al, 2011).…”
