Cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1), an enzyme known to metabolize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, is regulated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). The involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) in the regulation of AhR signal transduction pathway, has been widely studied but the role of specific PKC isoform(s) involved in this process it is not well clarified. To study which PKC isoform(s) is implicated...<br/><br/>De Pascale C, Domenicotti C , Nitti M, Marengo B, Catalano M, Scanarotti C, Sanguineti R, Siri M, Ledda S, Penco S, Bassi A M.
