Chemical activators of prostate and testis expressed 5 include a variety of compounds that influence intracellular signaling pathways leading to the protein's activation. Forskolin engages with adenylate cyclase to elevate intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP), which in turn activates protein kinase A (PKA). PKA can directly phosphorylate prostate and testis expressed 5, which is a post-translational modification that often regulates protein activity. Similarly, IBMX sustains elevated cAMP levels by inhibiting phosphodiesterases, thereby prolonging the activation of PKA which can then continue to phosphorylate prostate and testis expressed 5. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) activates protein kinase C (PKC), which phosphorylates a broad array of target proteins; this activation cascade has the capacity to include prostate and testis expressed 5 as one of its substrates.

Ionomycin and A23187 both act to increase intracellular calcium levels, which can activate calcium-dependent kinases capable of phosphorylating prostate and testis expressed 5. Thapsigargin raises intracellular calcium by a different mechanism, inhibiting the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA), thereby leading to the activation of similar calcium-responsive kinases. Okadaic Acid and Calyculin A inhibit protein phosphatases, which normally reverse phosphorylation, thus potentially resulting in an increased phosphorylation state of prostate and testis expressed 5. Anisomycin activates stress-activated protein kinases, which are known to phosphorylate a wide range of substrates and may also target prostate and testis expressed 5. Phosphatidic Acid, known to activate mTOR signaling, could also lead to the phosphorylation and activation of prostate and testis expressed 5 through mTOR's kinase activity. Oleoylethanolamide activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), initiating signaling that may converge on kinases that phosphorylate prostate and testis expressed 5. Lastly, Sphingosine-1-Phosphate, through its receptors, can activate downstream kinases that have the potential to phosphorylate and thereby activate prostate and testis expressed 5. Each of these chemicals, through their interaction with specific cellular pathways, can contribute to the functional activation of prostate and testis expressed 5 by promoting its phosphorylation status.
