A number of serine/threonine kinase receptors have recently been identified. Most of the members of this family are type I or type II receptors for proteins in the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. The type I and type II receptors form heteromeric receptor complexes after binding of the ligands, and transduce intracellular signals. TGF-beta type I receptor needs type II receptor for ligand binding, and type II receptor needs type I receptor for signalling. The signal transducing molecules that interact with heteromeric serine/threonine kinase receptor complexes remain to be elucidated; cyclin-dependent kinases and the retinoblastoma protein appear to be downstream elements in the antiproliferative pathway of TGF-beta.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
