PKC | | This model is a superset of the PKC model presented in Bhalla US and Iyengar R. Science (1999) 283(5400):381-7. The current version includes PKC turnover. This version includes the stimulating pools Ca, AA and DAG as well as the PKC activity within the synaptic signaling pathway since it is meant to be a self-contained pathway model rather than part of a network. |

Pathway No. : 138 | 5.5 | 1000 | No | | Arachidonic Acid. This messenger diffuses through membranes as well as cytosolically, has been suggested as a possible retrograde messenger at synapses. Based on simulations the AA settles to around 5.5 uM under resting conditions. |
AA acting as a Substrate in a reaction in PKC_turnover Network
| Kd is calculated only for second order reactions, like nA+nB <->nC or nA<->nC+nD, where n is number and A,B,C,D are molecules, where as for first order reactions Keq is calculated.
Kd for higher order reaction are not consider. |

| | | This is one of the more interesting steps. Mechanisticmpdmyy it does not seem necessary at first glance. Turns out that one needs this step to quantitatively match the curves in Schaechter and Benowitz 1993 J Neurosci 13(10):4361 and Shinomura et al 1991 PNAS 88:5149-5153. There is a synergy between DAG and AA activation even at low Ca levels, which is most simply represented by this reaction. Tau is assumed to be fast. Kd comes from matching the experimental curves. |
