abstract：:Previous research showed that protein kinase C alpha (PKC alpha) translocated to the perinuclear region and activated phospholipase D1, but the mechanism involved was not clear. Here, we provide evidence that Phe 663 (the 10th amino acid from C-terminus) of PKC alpha is essential for its translocation. A point mutatio...
