The expressions of PKC α and PKC δ at protein and mRNA level in mouse testis were identified by Western blotting and RT\|PCR. The expression of both PKC isoenzymes in the developing mouse testis was also examined. In testes of mouse at various developmental stages, both the protein and the mRNA of PKC\|α were uniformity; but the PKC\|δ expression occurred in the testes of 3\|week old, perhaps even relatively late in spermatid development. The results suggest that each isoenzyme may have different roles in processing and modulating physiological cellular responses of spermatogenesis.展开更多
