Description
  • PMA/TPA is the most commonly-used phorbol ester.
  • Binds to and activates protein kinase C (PKC) at nM concentrations. 
  • Induces cell growth arrest through a variety of pathways including the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways mediated by cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors such as p21WAF1/CIP1, p27KIP1, p15 and p16.
  • Potent mouse skin tumor promoter.
  • Promoter of inducible NOS (iNOS; NOS II).
  • Apoptosis inducer.
  • Potential effective cancer therapeutic agent.
  • Inhibitor of anti-lipolytic activity of insulin.
  • PMA treatment stimulates THP-1 cells and generates M0 macrophages (M0).
