QUICK LINKS

DCP-LA is a selective PKC-epsilon (PKC-epsilon) activator. In the in situ PKC assay with a reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography, DCP-LA significantly activates PKC in PC-12 cells in a concentration (10 nM-100 muM)-dependent manner, with the maximal effect at 100 nM. DCP-LA maintains a 7-fold greater potency for activation of PKC-epsilon over other PKC isozymes.
