Give an example of a signal transduction pathway involving cAMP and Protein kinases?
Answer: When cAMP is lose in a cell, it cam phosphorylate PK1,which in turn can activate PK2 and result in a cascade of activations with the final activation being of a DNA transcription factor. The transcription factor is caused to lock down on the DNA to signal for transcription to begin.
