Protein kinase C peptides for use in withdrawal

摘要

A method for managing withdrawal from an addictive substance is described. The method involves administering one or more peptides having specific activity for the epsilon and/or gamma isozyme of protein kinase C (PKC). The peptide(s) can be administered prior to, concurrent with, or subsequent to administration of the addictive substance. Also described is a kit having at least one container containing a peptide having isozyme-specific activity for epsilonPKC or gammaPKC and instructions for use.
