Fig. 1From: 14–3-3ε: a protein with complex physiology function but promising therapeutic potential in cancerRoles of 14–3-3ε in TGFβ-mediated signaling. 14–3-3ε enhances the TGFβ signaling pathway in two ways. First, 14–3-3ε interacts with TβRI to enhance the TGFβ signaling pathway. Second, co-expression of 14–3-3ε with EIF2α counteracts the inhibitory effect of EIF2α on TGFβ-mediated signaling. TGF, tumor growth factor; TβRI, type I TGFβ receptor; EIF2α, eukaryotic initiation factor-2αBack to article page
