Enables calcium-dependent protein kinase C activity. Involved in several processes, including long-term synaptic potentiation; protein autophosphorylation; and response to psychosocial stress. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and synaptic membrane. Is active in postsynaptic cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 14. Orthologous to human PRKCG (protein kinase C gamma). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
