Protein activation refers to the process by which a protein is modified or transformed to enable it to perform its specific biological function. This can involve various mechanisms, such as phosphorylation, cleavage, or binding to other molecules. Activation often results in a change in the protein's conformation, allowing it to interact with other proteins or substrates effectively. Proper protein activation is crucial for regulating numerous cellular processes, including signal transduction, metabolism, and gene expression.
protein activation
An enzyme is a specific kind of protein that catalyzes reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur.
Factor B is the key complement protein that helps activate the alternative pathway of complement activation. It forms a complex with Factor D and is cleaved by Factor D to produce the active fragment, which leads to further activation of the alternative pathway.
The presence of catalysts, usually enzymes.
When protein membrane receptors are activated, they usually undergo a conformational change, which triggers a downstream signaling cascade. This cascade can involve the activation of intracellular proteins or the production of second messengers, leading to a variety of cellular responses such as gene transcription, enzyme activation, or changes in cellular metabolism. Ultimately, the activation of protein membrane receptors initiates a cellular response to the signaling molecule that bound to the receptor.

shape, leading to activation of signaling cascades within the cell. This activation can lead to changes in cell behavior or gene expression.
The definition of the word fap is is type of protein which is call Fibrolast Activation Protein which is an alpha protein. It is a human gene and encodes for proteases.
Factor B is the key complement protein that helps activate the alternative pathway of complement activation. It forms a complex with Factor D and is cleaved by Factor D to produce the active fragment, which leads to further activation of the alternative pathway.
Enzymes
Enzyme's
Activation of G protein, binding of GTP, activation of adenylate cyclase, conversion of ATP to cAMP
When protein kinase A is activated, it can increase the rate of glycolysis by phosphorylating enzymes involved in the glycolytic pathway. This phosphorylation can lead to the activation of these enzymes, resulting in an overall stimulation of glycolysis and increased production of energy in the form of ATP.
the processes involved are gene activation,transcription(initiation,elongation,termination,editing),amino acid activation and translation(initation,elongation,termination) and protein folding.
Hormone binds to G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). GPCR undergoes a conformational change and activates the Gs protein. Gs protein activates adenylyl cyclase, leading to the production of cyclic AMP (cAMP). cAMP activates protein kinase A (PKA), initiating a cellular response.
