Abstract
A crude cytosolic fraction prepared from bovine brain contained protein kinase C, as shown by immunoblotting, but its activity was undetectable, suggesting the presence of interfering factors. Phosphatase, ATPase and protease activities did not account for the absence of detectable protein kinase C activity. The major contributing factor was found to be a heat‐labile protein which was separated from the kinase by ion‐exchange chromatography. The contribution to the total inhibitory activity of heat‐stable proteins was relatively minor, suggesting that they may not function physiologically as protein kinase C inhibitors.Keywords
