PRKCB

PRKCB (PKCβ, protein kinase C beta, HGNC:9395) is a human chromosome 16 gene encoding a calcium- and diacylglycerol-dependent kinase with Beta-I and Beta-II splice isoforms, essential for B-cell NF-kappa-B signaling and studied as a drug target in diabetic complications and cancer.

PRKCD

PRKCD (protein kinase C delta, PKCδ, HGNC:9399) is a human gene at 3p21.1 encoding a 676-aa, diacylglycerol-activated, calcium-independent PKC kinase regulating apoptosis and cell cycle; biallelic loss-of-function mutations cause ALPS type III with SLE-like autoimmunity.

PRKCG

PRKCG is a human gene on chromosome 19 encoding PKCγ, a kinase in neurons that mediates synaptic plasticity and causes spinocerebellar ataxia type 14 when mutated.

PRKCI

PRKCI (protein kinase C iota, PKCι; mouse homolog PKCλ) is a human gene at 3q26.2 encoding an atypical PKC serine/threonine kinase, a bona fide oncogene amplified in cervical, head and neck, lung squamous, and ovarian cancers.

PRKCQ

PRKCQ encodes PKCθ (protein kinase C theta), a Ca2+-independent novel PKC kinase enriched in T cells, recruited to the immunological synapse to activate NF-κB, AP-1, and NFAT, and a selective immunosuppression drug target.

PRKCSH

PRKCSH (hepatocystin, 80K-H) is a human gene on 19p13.2 encoding the beta subunit of ER glucosidase II; mutations cause autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease via a two-hit loss of polycystin-1.

PRKCZ

PRKCZ (protein kinase C zeta, HGNC:9412, Gene ID 5590) is a human 1p36 gene encoding atypical PKCζ, a Ca2+/DAG-independent kinase, plus the PKMζ memory isoform; knockout mice are viable.

PRKD1

PRKD1, also called PKCµ or PKD1, is a human gene at chromosome 14q12 encoding protein kinase D1, a serine/threonine kinase involved in Golgi trafficking, cell migration, and survival.

PRKDC

PRKDC (XRCC7, HYRC1) is a human gene at 8q11.21 encoding DNA-PKcs, the PIKK-family catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase. It drives NHEJ double-strand break repair and V(D)J recombination; biallelic variants cause autosomal recessive SCID (IMD26), and DNA-PK inhibitors are in cancer trials.

PRKG1

PRKG1 (protein kinase cGMP-dependent 1, PKG-1/cGKI) is a human chromosome 10 gene encoding soluble cGMP-dependent protein kinase isoforms Iα and Iβ, key NO/cGMP signaling mediators in smooth muscle and platelets; the gain-of-function R177Q variant causes heritable thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection.

PRKN

PRKN (PARK2) is the human gene encoding parkin, an RBR E3 ubiquitin ligase that with PINK1 drives mitophagy; biallelic variants cause autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson disease (PARK-Parkin), median onset 31 years.

Prljavo Kazalište

Prljavo Kazalište, Croatian for "Dirty Theatre," is a rock band from Zagreb formed in 1977, a leading act of the Yugoslav new wave that became a mainstream rock institution.

PRM800K

PRM800K is an OpenAI dataset released in May 2023 with 800,000 human step-level correctness labels for model-generated solutions to MATH problems, the reference dataset for training process reward models.

PRMT1

PRMT1 (protein arginine methyltransferase 1, Gene ID 3276) is the major type I human arginine methyltransferase, producing about 85% of type I PRMT activity, methylating RGG/RG motifs and H4R3, and acting as an oncogenic target with clinical inhibitors in trials.

PRMT5

PRMT5 (protein arginine methyltransferase 5) is a type II methyltransferase catalyzing symmetric arginine dimethylation; overexpressed in many cancers and targeted by SAM-competitive, substrate-competitive, and MTA-cooperative inhibitors in clinical trials.

pRNA nanoparticles

pRNA nanoparticles are nanostructures built from packaging RNA of the bacteriophage phi29 DNA packaging motor, engineered to deliver siRNA and other therapeutics to targeted cells.

PRNET

PRNET, the Packet Radio Network, was an experimental wireless packet-switched network funded by DARPA from 1973, connecting mobile computers over broadcast radio as one of the early Internet's three original networks.

Pro bono

Pro bono (from Latin pro bono publico, for the public good) is voluntary, unpaid professional work, chiefly free legal services. Distinguished by ABA Model Rule 6.1's 50-hour aspiration, 2013 ABA Standards, and mandatory California reporting from 2026.

Pro Bono (프로보노)
