Figure 12. Proposed signaling pathway of nociceptin-mediated GLAST expression.
The effects of different inhibitors (Figs. 10 and 11) indicate that nociceptin effects on GLAST expression are mediated by a signaling cascade that involves the interaction of PI-3K/AKT, mTOR and JAK. Solid lines represent experimentally supported interactions. Dashed arrows represent possible interactions that require further investigation.
