Overview:
Protein kinase C theta (PKCθ) is important component in the intracellular signaling cascade (1). Recent studies have suggested that local accumulation of fat metabolites inside skeletal muscle may activate a serine kinase cascade involving PKC-theta leading to defects in insulin signaling and glucose transport in skeletal muscle (2). Insulin resistance plays a primary role in the development of type 2 diabetes and may be related to alterations in fat metabolism. PKC-theta is a crucial component mediating fat-induced insulin resistance in skeletal muscle and is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (2).

Specificity:
Recognizes the PKCθ protein
Cross Reactivity:
Western blot human PKCtheta
PKCdelta/theta from other species may also be detectable.
Host:
Rabbit
Immunogen:
Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 674-678 of human PKCθ
Purification:
Affinity chromatography
Stability:
Store at 4oC (add 0.1% NaN3) for several months, and at -20oC for longer periods. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
Sample Data:
Representative western blot with Anti- PKCθ (1:1000) using 20ng of GST –tagged human recombinant PKCα, PKCβI, PKCβII, PKCγ, PKCδ, PKCε, PKCη, PKCθ, PKCμ, PKCν, PKCζ, and PKCι.
