PKC family members phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways.

PKC family members also serve as major receptors for phorbol esters, a class of tumor promoters.

Each member of the PKC family has a specific expression profile and is believed to play a distinct role in cells.

Studies in mice also suggest that this kinase may also regulate neuronal functions and correlate fear-induced conflict behavior after stress.
