Question

Theoretically, how might researchers disrupt signal transduction pathways as possible treatments for cancer?

Answer 1

Answer:

d. disrupt the function of protein kinases involved in cell cycle regulation.

Explanation:

Protein kinases which are useful in cell cycles have major roles in the formation of tumors. So many of these protein kinases go through mutations. Cell cycles would be unable to be stoped and tumor would keep increasing.

A lot of receptors are G protein coupled. So it is going to be really helpful to alter and make G protein receptors to be inactive. Most if these kinases go through means of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Targeting these would cause disruption in signal transduction in cells with cancer
