The ε-type of protein kinase C (PRKCE) is an enzyme that encodes the PRKCE gene in humans. The human PRKCE gene encodes the protein PRKCE (Uniprot ID: Q02156), which has a length of 737 amino acids and a molecular weight of 83.7 kDa. PRKCE is an isotype of the large family of PKC protein kinases, and plays multiple roles in different tissues. In cardiomyocytes, PRKCE regulates muscle contraction through its effect on sarcomeric protein, and PRKCE regulates cardiomyocyte metabolism through its effect on mitochondria.
Generally speaking, Alzheimer’s disease is mainly due to the accumulation of a large amount of amyloid beta in the brain, which affects the normal function of the brain. Therefore, most scientists have long focused on this amyloid body. superior. Researchers found that the onset of Alzheimer's disease is related to an enzyme called PRKCE in the brain. Studies have found that the expression level of this protease is significantly reduced in the hippocampus and temporal lobe of the brain, and the hippocampus and temporal lobe are the main areas of early Alzheimer's disease. And the expression level of PRKCE is directly related to the accumulation of amyloid. In addition, the level of PRKCE is also related to the severity of Alzheimer's disease.
