Protein kinase C isoform expression and activity in the mouse heart
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The expression of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in the developing murine ventricle was studied using Western blotting, assays of PKC activity, and immunoprecipitations. The abundance of two Ca2+-dependent isoforms, PKCalpha and PKCbetaII, as well as two Ca2+-independent isoforms, PKCdelta and PKCepsilon, decreased during postnatal development to <15% of the levels detected at embryonic day 18. The analysis of the subcellular distribution of the four isoforms showed that PKCdelta and PKCepsilon were associated preferentially with the particulate fraction in fetal ventricles, indicating a high intrinsic activation state of these isoforms at this developmental time point. The expression of PKCalpha in cardiomyocytes underwent a developmental change. Although preferentially expressed in neonatal cardiomyocytes, this isoform was downregulated in adult cardiomyocytes. In fast-performance liquid chromatography-purified ventricular extracts, the majority of PKC activity was Ca2+-independent in both fetal and adult ventricles. Immunoprecipitation assays indicated that PKCdelta and PKCepsilon were responsible for the majority of the Ca2+-independent activity. These studies indicate a prominent role for Ca2+-independent PKC isoforms in the mouse heart.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
