🧬 Gene Info

Gene Symbol	PRKCQ
Protein Type	Kinase
Function	PRKCQ is a serine/threonine kinase with several distinctive functional features:
Primary Expression	T-cells and certain neuronal populations, where it plays critical roles in T-cell receptor signaling, synaptic plasticity, and neuronal survival [@bai
Pathways	NF-κB
GeneCards	PRKCQ
Human Protein Atlas	PRKCQ
DAG-binding C1 Domain	Mediates responsiveness to diacylglycerol and phorbol esters without requiring calcium [@baierbitterlich1996].
C3/C4 ATP-binding Domain	Catalytic domain with kinase activity.
Atypical PKC Interaction	Can interact with other atypical PKCs (ζ, λ/ι) in certain cellular contexts [@hanse2013].
Synaptic Plasticity	In neurons, PRKCQ localizes to presynaptic terminals and regulates neurotransmitter release, long-term potentiation (LTP), and learning and memory [@altman2002].
Cytoskeletal Reorganization	Controls actin cytoskeleton dynamics through phosphorylation of downstream substrates, affecting cell morphology and migration [@moscat2000].
[Tau](/proteins/tau) Phosphorylation	PKC signaling pathways can influence tau phosphorylation through direct phosphorylation of tau kinases (GSK-3β, CDK5) and phosphatases [@cheng2011].
Synaptic Dysfunction	Given its role in synaptic plasticity, altered PRKCQ signaling may contribute to synaptic deficits in AD [@altman2002].
Mitochondrial Dysfunction	PRKCQ signaling may intersect with mitochondrial pathways relevant to dopaminergic neuron survival [@fujiwara2003].
Associated Diseases	neurodegeneration
Interactions	AUTOPHAGY, FERROPTOSIS
KG Connections	7 knowledge graph edges
Databases	GeneCards UniProt NCBI Gene HPA STRING
