Isolation of two protein kinase C (PKC) cDNA clones containing divergent carboxy-terminal sequences suggested a common genetic origin for these cDNAs. Partial characterization of the hPKC beta chromosomal gene provided direct evidence for the existence of two adjacent carboxy-terminal exons (beta 1 and beta 2) that are alternatively spliced to generate two types of hPKC beta sequences. PKC beta 1 and beta 2 mRNAs are expressed in a selective manner in both human hematopoietic cells and bovine brain tissues.
