TMEM106A Activators

Histamine activats its own set of receptors, orchestrates a different set of intracellular communications. Both of these pathways offer routes through which TMEM106A may be indirectly affected. Caffeine disrupts the quietude of adenosine receptors, leading to an upsurge in cAMP levels that subsequently activates protein kinase A (PKA) and could exert an influence on TMEM106A. Lithium Chloride, by inhibiting GSK-3β, disrupts the balance of protein phosphorylation, potentially shifting the operation of proteins that interact with TMEM106A. Retinoic Acid, with its capacity to modulate gene expression, could cause shifts in the protein landscape that includes TMEM106A regulators.

Forskolin and IBMX, through their actions on cAMP levels, create an environment ripe for PKA activation, which could cascade down to TMEM106A activity modulation. Similarly, Dibutyryl cAMP bypasses cellular receptors to directly stimulate PKA, again possibly affecting TMEM106A. The action of PMA as a direct activator of protein kinase C (PKC) might alter the phosphorylation state of proteins associated with TMEM106A, while Staurosporine's inhibition of PKC provides a counterbalance, potentially leading to changes in TMEM106A-related signaling pathways.
