Abstract

The phorbol ester TPA may be intercalated into the membrane phospholipid bilayer and selectively binds to every molecule of C-kinase in exhibiting its full enzymatic activity. Available evidence suggests that C-kinase is the receptive protein of this tumor promoter, and the results presented seem to provide clues for clarifying the mechanism of controlling cell growth and differentiation.
