Protein phosphorylation in normal and neoplastic development. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activity in urethane-induced pulmonary tumours

Abstract
The cyclic[c]AMP-dependent protein kinase [EC 2.7.1.37] specific activities of cytosol fractions from urethane-induced lung tumors and normal mouse lung were determined. Basal and cAMP-stimulated activities in tumors were 2-fold higher than those of normal lung. Since neonatal and adult lung cytosols have identical kinase activities, the high activity in tumors appears to be a tumor-specific property.
