Effects of dietary zinc deficiency and protein-energy malnutrition on murine splenic T lymphocyte signal transduction proteins
Phospholipase C (PLC) and protein kinase C (PKC) are zinc metalloenzymes in the T lymphocyte signal transduction pathway. It is hypothesized that aberrations in the expression and functionality of PLC and PKC due to a lack of zinc may help explain some of the immune dysfunction observed in zinc defi...
