Analog-specific Kinases kinase-signaling pathways

The overall picture of how these tyrosine kinases interact with each other has not been delineated. Analogous to the interaction of members of the IL-6 receptor family with those of the IL-6 family, specific interaction of several kinases might determine the specificity of the signaling (see Table 1). Although the signal pathways of members of the IL-6 receptor family are very similar, there may be also some differences (Piquet-Pellorce et al., 1994 Thoma et al., 1994).
