Application

Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate has been used as a protein kinase C (PKC) activator to study its effects on human organic anion transporter 4 (hOAT4) activity. It has also been used as a PKC activator to analyze its effects on galectin-3 expression and matrix production in HL-1 cells.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) is a potent activator of protein kinase C (PKC). It is more hydrophilic than phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), which facilitates washing PDBu out of cells in tissue culture. PDBu activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression in primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells, which in turn correlates with PKC α and ε expression.

Disclaimer

Photosensitive

Features and Benefits

Less hydrophobic then PMA, making it easier to wash out of cells in tissue culture.

Preparation Note

Stock solution cannot be made in aqueous media; dissolve in a water-miscible organic solvent before dilution to working concentrations in aqueous media.

Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) and protein kinase C (PKC) are two distinct enzyme families associated with diacylglycerol. Both enzymes have cysteine-rich C1 domains (C1A, C1B, and C1C) in the regulatory region. Although most PKC C1 domains strongly bind phorbol esters, there

Conventional and novel protein kinase C (PKC) isozymes contain two cysteine-rich C1 domains (C1A and C1B), both of which are candidate phorbol-12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu)-binding sites. We synthesized C1 peptides of 50-70 residues corresponding to all PKC isozyme C1 domains using
