MAP3K-related kinase involved in NF-kappaB induction by TNF, CD95 and IL-1
Article Abstract:
The neurotrophic factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) is a transcription factor for immune-response genes that is activated by Traf2 adaptor proteins from the tumor necrosis factor (TNF), CD95, interleukin-1 (IL-1) receptors. The activation of NF-kappaB by TNF receptors, CD95 and IL-1 receptors involves a signaling cascade that is mediated by mitogen activated protein 3 kinase-related kinase. Furthermore, the signaling cascade that mediates the activation of NF-kappaB was promoted by the NIK protein kinase.

Role of visual pigment properties in rod and cone phototransduction
Article Abstract:
Cones are typically 100 times less photosensitive than rods and their response kinetics are several times faster. The differences in properties between rod and cone pigments are described.
