{synonym}
An <atypical protein kinase C> is a member of the <protein kinase C> family whose regulation differs from the conventional calcium- and diacylglycerol-responsive forms. Atypical isoforms participate in signalling and cellular polarity, including complexes with <PAR-6>. Their name describes a regulatory subfamily; it does not mean that all <protein kinase C> <enzymes> share the same activation requirements. <UniProtKB by the UniProt Consortium>[Q05513, Function, Catalytic activity and Subunit structure]{ref}
