A 1779-bp complementary DNA (cDNA) that encodes protein kinase C-zeta
(PKC-zeta) has been isolated from a human frontal cortex library using
traditional plaque-screening methods and PCR screening. The deduced 5
92-amino-acid sequence of the human PKC-zeta clone has a 95-96% identi
ty to those deduced from the previously described rat and mouse PKC-ze
ta clones.
