The protein-kinase-C (PKC) family of iso-enzymes regulates mitogenic signal transduction in colorectal-cell lines. Its function in human colonic mucosal proliferation is controversial. Our study investigated the role of PKC with regard to proliferation and changes of PKC iso-enzyme expression in col
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Transforming growth factor Ξ² (TGFΞ²) is important in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), a subgroup within the TGFΞ² superfamily, recently also have been implicated in CRC, but their precise role in CRC has yet to be investigated. ## M

## Abstract Protein kinase C (PKC) activity was measured in normalβappearing colonic mucosa from patients undergoing colonic resection. Comparisons were made between cases with and without colorectal cancers. PKC activity in cytosolic and particulate fractions was significantly reduced in patients
