Kinases

Kinases – Essential Enzymes for Cell Signaling and Therapeutic Targeting

Kinases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to specific target proteins, a process known as phosphorylation. This phosphorylation plays a critical role in regulating a wide range of cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, metabolism, and signal transduction. Kinases are involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression, gene expression, and immune responses, making them key targets in cancer, neurological disorders, and inflammatory diseases.
