In this review we discuss several molecules that are attractive candidates as transducing
molecules involved in signaling processes. IL-2 receptor signaling is a complex process
involving a large number of molecules: Ras, Rho, PI3 kinase, PKC, Akt, transcription factors
NF-AT, and NF-kB and some target genes such as bcl-2, c-myc, c-jun and c-fos. Ras and
Rho have been defined as dual molecules because Ras-and Rho-initiated signals can
either promote or inhibit apoptosis.
