Biological Data

Biological description

Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) is a protein kinase C (PKC) activator which associates to the C1 domain. It is structurally analogous to diacylglycerol and has various biological actions. It induces ERK1/2 activation.

It is widely used to differentiate THP-1 cells for use as a model for function and biology of human macrophages.


It is frequently used with ionomycin to stimulate intracellular cytokine production in T-cells. Also used with Concanavalin A (ConA) to stimulate DNA and protein synthesis.


PMA also facilitates long term potentiation in hippocampal neurons via δ and ε PKC binding sites.


Additionally, PMA potentiates exocytosis and modulates vesicle fusion kinetics.


It is a potent tumor promoter.
