Summary
Enables calcium,diacylglycerol-dependent serine/threonine kinase activity; integrin binding activity; and lipid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; positive regulation of bone resorption; and positive regulation of dense core granule biogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including induction of positive chemotaxis; negative regulation of signal transduction; and regulation of protein phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including cone photoreceptor outer segment; intercalated disc; and ooplasm. Part of alphav-beta3 integrin-PKCalpha complex. Is active in calyx of Held and presynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early embryo; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy; high grade glioma (multiple); large cell carcinoma; and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human PRKCA (protein kinase C alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
