GenAge entry for PRKCA (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 99)

HGNC symbol: PRKCA
Aliases: PKCA
Common name: protein kinase C, alpha

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection: Entry selected based on evidence showing that the gene product to be a target of genes previously linked to ageing
Description: PRKCA is a phorbol ester receptor involved in signal transduction. It appears to interact with many proteins, including some that have been related to ageing, such as LMNA and INSR. In the medfly, PRKCA levels are age-dependent [535]. PRKCA has not been directly related to human ageing.
