PKCα diffusion and translocation are independent of an intact cytoskeleton

Abstract Translocation of cytosolic cPKC to the plasma membrane is a key event in their activation process but its exact nature is still unclear with particular dispute whether sole diffusion or additional active transport along the cell’s cytoskeleton contributes to cPKC’s dynamics.
