Vitamin E inhibits protein kinase C activity
Abstract
Vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol) has been found to inhibit in vitro brain protein kinase c with a half inhibitory concentration of 450 microM. The known plasma concentrations of vitamin E are one order of magnitude lower than the protein kinase c half-inhibitory concentration but it is also known that, at the membrane level where the active protein kinase c is located, the lipophilic vitamin E is more concentrated (Burton, G.W., Joyce, A. and Ingold, K.U. and Locke, S. (1983) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 221, 281-290). It appears that vitamin E, in addition to its antioxidant function, may play a role in regulating the activity of protein kinase c.
