Antigenic stimulation of lymphocytes and other cells of the immune system initiates a complex series of intracellular signal transduction pathways that lead to the expression of a panel of immunoregulatory genes, whose function is critical to the initiation and coordination of the immune response. NFATs (Nuclear Factors of Activated T-Cells), a family of transcription factors expressed both inside and outside of diverse cell types of the immune system, play a pivotal role in the process. Originally described in T-Cells, ...
