CASKIN2 activators encompass a diverse group of compounds that enhance the functional activity of CASKIN2 via various cellular and biochemical pathways. For instance, Forskolin and PDE4 inhibitor Rolipram act by increasing intracellular cAMP levels, which then activate PKA. PKA-mediated signaling plays a pivotal role in modulating CASKIN2 activity. Similarly, by inhibiting protein kinases that negatively regulate CASKIN2, compounds like Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) can enhance the signaling cascade associated with CASKIN2, leading to its functional activity enhancement. In contrast, AGS3 inhibitors facilitate G protein-coupled receptor signaling, a pathway where CASKIN2 is a critical player, thus promoting its activity. Moreover, compounds such as D-cycloserine and BDNFMimetic 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone activate neurotransmitter receptors like NMDA and TrkB, respectively, which indirectly upregulate CASKIN2 activity by modulating synaptic transmission and plasticity, areas where CASKIN2 is inherently involved.
On the other hand, chemicals that affect cellular structures and metabolic states also play a role in the activation of CASKIN2. Paclitaxel, for example, stabilizes microtubules, which can lead to the enhancement of signaling pathways that indirectly involve CASKIN2 due to its role in cytoskeletal organization. Autophagy inducers like spermidine may influence neuronal survival and synaptic plasticity, indirectly enhancing CASKIN2's functional activity. Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) enhances cellular metabolism and energy production, which is crucial for maintaining the neuronal activity where CASKIN2 is engaged. L-Theanine's modulation of glutamatergic signaling provides another avenue for the potential enhancement of CASKIN2's activity.
