ANGEL2 Activators

NGEL2 Activators consist of a variety of chemicals that directly or indirectly stimulate the functional activation of ANGEL2 through specific signaling pathways. Forskolin, Epinephrine, and Isoproterenol, for instance, activate adenylyl cyclase which leads to an increase in cAMP levels. This elevation in cAMP then triggers PKA, which can phosphorylate and activate ANGEL2. This series of events showcases how these chemicals directly influence the functional activity of ANGEL2. In contrast, Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate (PMA) operates through a different mechanism, activating protein kinase C (PKC) which can then phosphorylate and stimulate ANGEL2.

Other ANGEL2 Activators, such as Okadaic Acid and Calyculin A, operate by inhibiting deactivating enzymes, leading to sustained activation of ANGEL2. These chemicals inhibit protein phosphatases 1 and 2A, enzymes responsible for the dephosphorylation and consequent deactivation of ANGEL2. By obstructing these enzymes, Okadaic Acid and Calyculin A prevent the deactivation of ANGEL2, leading to its continued activation. Similarly, H-89 and Staurosporine inhibit protein kinases, resulting in the upregulation of cAMP levelsand indirectly encouraging ANGEL2 activation. This inhibition of protein kinases, including PKA and PKC, alters cellular signaling pathways and can indirectly stimulate ANGEL2.
