IT is part of the second messenger system and controls the release of brain chemicals and prolongs SE in the synapse.PKA controls the reuptake of SE.PKA and PKC are belived to be defective in OCD.THe SE stays in the synapse too long and the signal from the caudate is not terminated.This is why you cannot stop thinking about something or being prompted to do something ,like washing your hands.Signal duration seems to be a big problem in mental illness.
