Peptides for activation and inhibition of deltaPKC

摘要

Peptides able to inhibit or activate the translocation or function of deltaPKC are identified. Administration of the peptides for protection or enhancement of cell damage due to ischemia is described. Therapeutic methods to reduce damage to cells or to enhance damage to cells due to ischemia are also described, as well as methods for screening test compounds for deltaPKC-selective agonists and antagonists.
