In this online tool, you will find about 200 antibiotics for contamination prevention, genetic marker selection and cell biology studies, while you obtain a summary of the application information, activity spectrum, solution stability, mode of action, and usage data.

MAPK

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) are a family of protein kinases involved in cell proliferation, cell differentiation, cell movement, and cell death. MAPK signaling cascades are organized hierarchically where: -MAPKs are phosphorylated and activated by MAPK-kinases (MAPKKs), -MAPKKs are phosphorylated and activated by MAPKK-kinases (MAPKKKs). -MAPKKKs are in turn activated by interaction with the family of …

TGF-beta

The TGF-beta 1 (Transforming growth factor beta) is the first member of a large group of proteins included in the TGF-beta superfamily. This superfamily includes the activin/inhibin family, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), growth differentiation factors (GDFs) and the TGF-beta subfamily. Members of the TGF-beta superfamily interact with cell surface protein kinase receptors to activate Smad …

PI3K/Akt

The Akt cascade works through receptor tyrosine kinases, integrins, B and T cell receptors, cytokine receptors, G protein coupled receptors and other stimuli that induce the production of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5 triphosphates (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3) by phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K). There are three highly related isoforms of Akt (Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3), being the major signaling arm of PI3K.
