Question

Which of the following are the signaling pathways that we assessed in today's lab?

a) MAPK/ERK pathway
b) Notch pathway
c) Wnt pathway
d) JAK/STAT pathway

Answer 1

The signaling pathways assessed in today's lab are the MAPK/ERK pathway, Wnt pathway, and JAK/STAT pathway.

Step-by-step explanation:

The signaling pathways that were assessed in today's lab are:

1. MAPK/ERK pathway: This pathway includes the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to its receptor tyrosine kinase, which activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade. This pathway is involved in gene expression and regulation of protein translation.
2. Wnt pathway: Proteins involved in this pathway signal the ectodermal cells to form the epidermal cells and the neural plate.
3. JAK/STAT pathway: This pathway includes a regulated phosphorylation cascade and can be affected by loss of function mutations in specific genes.
