Protein kinase C beta type

PKC beta belongs to AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. It is responsible for threonine 6 phosphorylation of histone H3 which prevents LSD1 from demethylation of H3K9 on androgen dependent activation. This is shown to have implication in prostate cancers (PMID: 20228790). Histones have been used as substrates for demonstrating the phosphorylation activity of PKCs (PMID: 8288312, PMID: 1328200).
