TEX2 Activators

Thapsigargin operates by disrupting calcium homeostasis, leading to a rise in intracellular calcium levels that may activate calcium-dependent kinases capable of modifying the interaction landscape of TEX2. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors like LY294002 and Wortmannin can cause a reduction in AKT phosphorylation, triggering a cascade of signaling events that may alter TEX2's regulatory mechanisms. U0126, SB 203580, and PD98059, which target different kinases within the MAPK signaling pathways, may influence TEX2 by changing the phosphorylation dynamics of proteins that interact with or regulate TEX2.

Rapamycin inhibits the mTOR pathway, which could lead to alterations in cellular processes that affect TEX2's activity. Dibutyryl-cAMP, a synthetic analog of cAMP, bypasses cellular receptors and directly stimulates cAMP-dependent pathways, which could impact TEX2 through PKA-mediated effects. Ionomycin, by raising intracellular calcium, might act on calcium-sensitive proteins that engage with TEX2. The activation of the Wnt signaling pathway, triggered by compounds like Wnt Agonist, may influence TEX2 through its downstream gene transcription effects. Okadaic Acid's inhibition of protein phosphatases PP1 and PP2A is known to increase the phosphorylation state of numerous proteins, potentially affecting those that regulate the activity of TEX2.
