FAM164A Activators

FAM164A Activators represent a collection of compounds that influence cellular signaling pathways or processes, leading to the activation of FAM164A. Forskolin raises intracellular cAMP levels, which activates PKA, resulting in phosphorylation and enhancement of FAM164A's role in cellular signaling. Similarly, okadaic acid and calyculin A inhibit phosphatases PP1 and PP2A, maintaining FAM164A in a phosphorylated state, while PMA activates PKC, leading to the phosphorylation of a range of substrates including FAM164A.

Ionomycin raises intracellular calcium levels, activating calcium-dependent kinases that phosphorylate FAM164A, integrating it into calcium signaling pathways. KN-93 inhibits CaMKII, which may trigger compensatory activation of FAM164A through other calcium-dependent mechanisms. Thapsigargin disrupts calcium homeostasis, leading to the activation of calcium-dependent kinases that enhance the function of FAM164A. Anisomycin activates stress-activated protein kinases, which leads to the enhancement of FAM164A's function in stress response. Lithium chloride inhibits GSK-3, leading to increased phosphorylation and activity of FAM164A. H-89, by inhibiting PKA, could sensitize other kinases that indirectly activate FAM164A. MG-132 prevents the degradation of phosphorylated proteins, possibly enhancing FAM164A's activity by stabilizing its active form. Lastly, cyclosporin A inhibits calcineurin, thereby potentially enhancing FAM164A activity through alternative calcium-mediated signaling pathways.
