AKT Signaling Pathway
AKT is a serine/threonine kinase that is involved in mediating various biological responses, such as inhibition of apoptosis.
Adaptive immunity is one of two ways by which vertebrates clear pathogens from the body. The adaptive immune system provides long-term protection against specific pathogens. A variety of cell signaling pathways are involved in this area of biology, including the AKT signaling pathway, the Fas signaling pathway, and the RANK pathway.

Antigen processing and presentation are the processes that result in association of proteins with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules for recognition by a T-cell.
In immune responses, APRIL acts as a co-stimulator for B-cell and T-cell proliferation and supports class switch.
In immune responses, APRIL acts as a co-stimulator for B-cell and T-cell proliferation and supports class switch.
The B-cell receptor (BCR) complex usually consists of an antigen-binding subunit that is composed of two Ig heavy chains, two Ig light chains, and a signaling subunit.
Each mature T-cell generally retains expression of the co-receptor molecule (CD4 or CD8) that has a major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-binding property that matches that of its T-cell receptor (TCR).
The co-stimulatory CTLA4 pathway attenuates or down-regulates T-cell activation. CTLA4 is designed to remove body cells displaying a foreign epitope.
FAS (also called APO1 or CD95) is a death domain–containing member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily.
Granzyme A (GzmA) activates a caspase-independent cell death pathway with morphological features of apoptosis.
IL-2 is a cytokine that stimulates the growth, proliferation, and differentiation of T-cells, B-cells, NK cells, and other immune cells.
IL-2 is a cytokine that stimulates the growth, proliferation, and differentiation of T-cells, B-cells, NK cells, and other immune cells.
IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that affects the immune system and many physiological events in various organs.
IL-10 is a pleiotropic cytokine with important immunoregulatory functions and whose activities influence many immune cell types.
Interferons are pleiotropic cytokines best known for their ability to induce cellular resistance to viral infection.
The JAK/STAT pathway is a signaling cascade whose evolutionarily conserved roles include cell proliferation and hematopoiesis.
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) belong to a large family of serine/threonine protein kinases that are conserved in organisms as diverse as yeast and humans.
The phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) regulate numerous biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, survival, proliferation, migration, and metabolism.
RANKL and its receptor RANK are key regulators of bone remodeling, and are essential for the development and activation of osteoclasts.
Members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta family play an important role in the development, homeostasis, and repair of most tissues.
T-helper cells of type 1 (TH1) and type 2 (TH2) are derived from T-helper cells and provide help to cells of both the innate and adaptive immune systems.
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily consists of 19 members that signal through 29 receptors that are members of the TNF receptor (TNFR) superfamily.
The liver is a major site for the formation and metastasis of tumors.
