Abstract
MARCKS proteins are widely distributed in mammalian cells and subserve an important role as probes in the examination of signal transduction processes because they are specific endogenous phosphoreceptors for a ctivated protein kinase C. Experiments were performed to determine whe ther MARCKS proteins are present in amphibia and to show their usefuln ess as substrates for stimulated PKC activation, using cultured renal epithelial cells (A6) derived from Xenopus laevis as an experimental m odel.
