Signaling pathways involving PIM kinase. Up-stream target proteins of PIM (proviral integration site for moloney murine leukemia virus) kinase are janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcriptions (JAK/STATs) and their activations cause to stimulate PIM kinase. Activated PIM kinase boosts its downstream signaling targets, such as myelocytomatosis (MYC), BCL-2-associated agonist of cell death (BAD), p21Cip1/Waf1/p27Kip1, and cell devision cycle 25 (CDC25), and regulates gene transcription, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis.
