nPKC

nPKC, or nuclear Protein Kinase C, is a specialized form of an enzyme that modifies other proteins by adding phosphate groups, influencing how they behave. Unlike other PKC types that operate in the cell's outer areas, nPKC functions mainly inside the cell nucleus, affecting activities like gene expression and DNA repair. Its role is crucial in processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and responses to signals, making it important for maintaining normal cell functions and potentially involved in disease development when dysregulated.
