Ahr Signal Transduction PathwayRattus norvegicus
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor, known as AHR, is a normally cytosolic transcription factor that can bind to foreign compounds such as flavonoids and indoles from foods, as well as synthetic ligands including polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD). This includes 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD), which is the ligand shown in this pathway.
AHR interacts with heat shock protein 90 (HSP90AA1), which acts as a chaperone for it. After this association, the ligand, in this case TCDD, can form a covalent bond with the complex in the cell's cytoplasm. This binding causes AHR and the rest of the complex to translocate into the nucleus of the cell. Once in the nucleus, the heat shock protein dissociates, leaving binding sites which the AHR nuclear translocator (ARNT) then binds to. Finally, the AHR/ARNT complex can interact, either directly or indirectly, with the DNA, in this case specifically a dioxin response element. With other ligands, the complex will bind to the equivalent DNA that corresponds to the genes that allow metabolism of the ligand.

Agrin in Postsynaptic DifferentiationHomo sapiens
Agrin and acetylcholine act in parallel to shape the postsynaptic apparatus, and skeletal neuromuscular junction development depends critically on the interactions between these factors.
In addition to its role in clustering acetylcholine, which has been demonstrated in vitro, agrin also acts to antagonize the effect of acetylcholine receptors. The antideclustering effects of agrin are physiologically crucial, agrin's antideclustering effects in vitro require its z-exon which has been shown to be required for postsynaptic differentiation in vivo.

Agomelatine Serotonin Antagonist Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Agomelatine is structurally closely related to melatonin. Agomelatine is a potent agonist at melatonin receptors and an antagonist at serotonin-2C (5-HT2C) receptors and promotes dopamine and norepinephrine release. Agomelatine is indicated to treat major depressive episodes in adults. It is an atypical antidepressant.

Afatinib Action PathwayHomo sapiens
Afatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor used as an antineoplastic agent for the treatment of advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with non-resistant EGFR mutations or resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy. Afatinib binds the phosphorylation domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor. This inhibits the activation of this receptor, thus the cascading signaling pathways, through RAS, can't happen. As a result, this drug provokes the inhibition of cell (cancer) proliferation. Also, Afatinib inhibits the receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-2 and erbB-4. Those receptors usually send a signal to the cell to survive (through the transcription of many proteins and with the help of P13K, AKT, and mTOR). The inhibition of those receptors results in the inhibition of the survival of the cell (death/apoptosis). This drug is administered as an oral tablet.
