Summary: Enables several functions, including 14-3-3 protein binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and potassium channel regulator activity. Involved in several processes, including activation of phospholipase D activity; positive regulation of cell communication; and regulation of protein localization. Located in several cellular components, including cell leading edge; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and stress fiber. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density. Used to study hyperglycemia. Biomarker of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human PRKCZ (protein kinase C zeta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Inactivity-induced phrenic motor facilitation requires PKCzeta activity within phrenic motor neurons.
Title: Inactivity-induced phrenic motor facilitation requires PKCζ activity within phrenic motor neurons.
PKMzeta Maintains Remote Contextual Fear Memory by Inhibiting GluA2-Dependent AMPA Receptor Endocytosis in the Prelimbic Cortex.
Title: PKMζ Maintains Remote Contextual Fear Memory by Inhibiting GluA2-Dependent AMPA Receptor Endocytosis in the Prelimbic Cortex.
PKMzeta inhibition disrupts reconsolidation and erases object recognition memory. Results also indicate that hippocampal PKMzeta acts downstream of BDNF and controls AMPAR synaptic insertion to elicit reconsolidation and suggest that blocking PKMzeta activity during this process deletes active object recognition memory.
Title: PKMζ Inhibition Disrupts Reconsolidation and Erases Object Recognition Memory.
Protein Kinase M zeta is activated in prelimbic cortex during consolidation of memory.
Title: PKM-ζ Expression Is Important in Consolidation of Memory in Prelimbic Cortex Formed by the Process of Behavioral Tagging.
The current studies demonstrate that enhanced action potential firing produced by NGF was blocked by inhibitors of translation, but not transcription. In vitro studies showed that NGF elevated the protein levels of PKMzeta, which was also prevented by inhibitors of translation. Intraplantar injection of NGF produced a rapid and maintained increase in mechanical sensitivity whose onset was delayed by translation inhibit...
Title: Peripheral Synthesis of an Atypical Protein Kinase C Mediates the Enhancement of Excitability and the Development of Mechanical Hyperalgesia Produced by Nerve Growth Factor.
the overexpression of PKMzeta in hippocampal neurons immobilized GluA2-containing AMPA receptors.
Title: Increased PKMζ activity impedes lateral movement of GluA2-containing AMPA receptors.
Here we find that spatial conditioning by aversive active place avoidance or appetitive radial arm maze induces PKMzeta increases in dorsal hippocampus that persist from 1day to 1month, coinciding with the strength and duration of memory retention.
Title: Persistent increased PKMζ in long-term and remote spatial memory.
In contrast to adult rats, juveniles failed to show contextual fear responses at 4 d post-fear conditioning. Reconsolidation sessions 3 and 6 d after conditioning restored contextual fear responses in juveniles 7 d after initial training. In juveniles that received reconsolidation sessions, protein kinase M zeta (PKMzeta) increased in the amygdala, but not in the hippocampus.
Title: Repeated recall and PKMζ maintain fear memories in juvenile rats.
Although PA reduced CD36 and increased GLUT4 metabolic pathway proteins, when we pretreated cells with resveratrol to activate SIRT1 or transfected si-PKCzeta, both were able to significantly increase CD36 metabolic pathway proteins and reduce GLUT4 pathway proteins
Title: Palmitic acid interferes with energy metabolism balance by adversely switching the SIRT1-CD36-fatty acid pathway to the PKC zeta-GLUT4-glucose pathway in cardiomyoblasts.
PKMzeta, but not PKCiota, knock-down disrupted previously established long-time memory. PKCiota and PKMz have distinct functions in long-term potentiation and memory, with PKMzeta playing a specific role in memory maintenance.

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.
