The multidirectional activity of ecdysteroids has raised the question of how these compounds are able to affect that many processes. A plausible hypothesis is that ecdysteroids affect Akt/PKB (protein kinase B) pathway, an intracellular signaling cascade that plays a central role in mammalian cell ...
The lKCs show preferential expression of five genes encoding proteins involved in Ca2+-signaling, such as Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)19, which plays a central role in the synaptic plasticity that serves as a platform for learning and memory processes in many animal ...
Stimulation of the PG by neuropeptides involves several signaling cascades, including a cAMP-dependent pathway, a classical mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade, and an S6 kinase pathway (3, 5, 6). These pathways control synthesis of ecdysteroids from dietary cholesterol or phytosterols via a ...
