The video explains the process of phosphorylation in kinase receptors, focusing on the role of IRS-1 and SH2 domains in signaling. It details the interaction between GRB2 and SOS, leading to the activation of Ras and Raf proteins. The MAP kinase cascade is described, highlighting its role in cellular signaling and protein activation. The video concludes with a summary of key concepts and the importance of understanding these pathways in bio signaling.

What is the primary function of receptor tyrosine kinases in cellular signaling?

• To degrade proteins

• To phosphorylate tyrosine residues

• To bind to DNA

• To transport molecules across the membrane

What role does IRS-1 play in the signaling pathway?

• It transports glucose
