Phosphatidic acid can replace phosphatidylserine in the activation of protein kinase C. However, in the presence of diolein, the addition of Ca2+ results in the inhibition of the enzyme. This phenomenon could lead to a negative feedback regulation of protein kinase C activity as a result of stimulation of the cycling of phosphatidylinositol.
