Abstract
Phosphorylation is a universal language used by cells to relay information between and within cells. One family of kinases that plays a key role in transducing information is the protein kinase C family. Members of this family interpret information from signals that result in phospholipid hydrolysis; they communicate to substrates throughout the cell, causing both short-term and long-term changes in cell function. This chapter focuses on the molecular mechanisms of protein kinase C, from the protein to the cell biological level.
