Key result
At least three Ca2+-sensitive protein kinases, including phosphorylase kinase and protein kinase C, are involved in the response of hepatocytes to Ca2+-linked hormones.
This preclinical study demonstrates that hormones like vasopressin and angiotensin II generate multiple intracellular messengers (diacylglycerol and Ca2+) to activate distinct protein kinases in hepatocytes.

Should not yet inform clinical kinase targeting in liver disease; leaves open validation in human models.
Garrison et al. (1984) studied this question. Angiotensin II, vasopressin, phorbol esters, and A23187 vs. Unstimulated cells / normal Wistar controls was evaluated on Phosphorylation state of hepatic cytosolic proteins. At least three Ca2+-sensitive protein kinases, including phosphorylase kinase and protein kinase C, are involved in the response of hepatocytes to Ca2+-linked hormones.
