Key Features
- Signal transduction
- Activation of protein kinases
- Second messenger systems
- Regulation of gene expression
Pros
- Essential for normal cellular functions
- Regulates a wide range of biological processes
- Key target for drug development
Cons
- Complex and difficult to study comprehensively
- Dysregulation can lead to diseases such as cancer
