Receptor Tyrosine Kinases 2

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.
