Build a Signaling Pathway

Build a Signaling Pathway Part A Which of these is a logical signal transduction pathway? An ion-channel receptor opens, allowing a steroid hormone to enter the cell; the steroid hormone then activates protein kinases that convert GTP to GDP, which binds to an intracellular enzyme that carries out a response. A receptor tyrosine kinase activates adenylyl cyclase, which… Read More »
