catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,enzyme regulation:Activated by diacylglycerol and phorbol esters.,function:Calcium-independent, phospholipid-dependent, serine- and threonine-specific protein kinase.,PTM:Autophosphorylated. Phorbol esters stimulates autophosphorylation. Phosphorylation of Ser-876 correlates with the activation status of the kinase.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family. PKD subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 PH domain.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,similarity:Contains 2 phorbol-ester/DAG-type zinc fingers.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed.,
Cytoplasm . Cell membrane . Nucleus . Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network . Translocation to the cell membrane is required for kinase activation. Accumulates in the nucleus upon CK1-mediated phosphorylation after activation of G-protein-coupled receptors. Nuclear accumulation is regulated by blocking nuclear export of active PRKD2 rather than by increasing import. .
