S7791 PMA chemical (Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) PMA (Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate), a potent activator of PKC, is active at nanomolar concentrations. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) induces sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P).PMA has strong excitability on the skin and mucous membrane. Special protection is required when using PMA. Wear gloves and mask to avoid direct contact in any way.

S3289 Daphnoretin Daphnoretin (Dephnoretin, Thymelol), a biologically active compound isolated from Wikstroemia indica C.A. Mey., is a protein kinase C (PKC) activator. This compound inhibits the proliferation, invasion, and migration of tumor cells and promote its apoptosis by regulating the activity of Akt signal pathway.
S3819 Decursinol angelate Decursinol angelate is a cytotoxic and protein kinase C activating agent from the root of Angelica gigas.
E5794 Ionomycin calcium Ionomycin calcium (SQ23377 calcium) is a potent and selective calcium ionophore and an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces conglobatus. It is highly specific for divalent cations (Ca>Mg>Sr=Ba) and also promotes T cell activation and proliferation by inducing phosphoinositide hydrolysis and protein kinase C (PKC) activation, leading to IL-2 production and IL-2R expression.
S7074 Ionomycin Ionomycin (SQ23377) is a potent and selective calcium ionophore and an antibiotic produced by Streptomyces conglobatus. It induces the activation of protein kinase C (PKC) and promotes apoptosis.
