Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables diacylglycerol-dependent, calcium-independent serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in cellular response to insulin stimulus; positive regulation of D-glucose import; and positive regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within actin filament organization; establishment of apical/basal cell polarity; and eye photoreceptor cell development. Located in several cellular components, including Schmidt-Lanterman incisure; apical plasma membrane; and brush border. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; lung; and sensory organ. Used to study abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human PRKCI (protein kinase C iota).
