J147 also modulates the expression and / or phosphorylation of downstream targets of BDNF [7]. (alzres.biomedcentral.com)
The phosphorylation levels of downstream target proteins of Akt also were downregulated in parallel (Fig. 4F). (jimmunol.org)
In addition to inhibiting STAT5 signaling, we found that depletion of ABL kinases decreased the expression of the Hippo pathway mediator TAZ and downstream target genes in triple - negative and HER2 + breast cancer cells. (stke.sciencemag.org)
