Summary Introduction

To determine: The affect on the cell signaling pathways due to the activation of malfunctioning protein phosphatases.

Concept introduction: The mutation or the malfunctioning of the protein molecules will lead to a constant activation of the protein response without inhibition inside the cell. The function of the protein phosphatases is to remove the phosphate group from the protein signaling leading to an inhibition of the cell signaling pathway.
