The document discusses several cell signaling pathways including the insulin receptor cascade, leptin receptor cascade, and β-adrenergic receptor cascade. The insulin receptor cascade involves insulin binding to its receptor and activating IRS proteins and PI3K/Akt and Ras/Raf/MAPK pathways. The leptin receptor activates JAK kinases which phosphorylate STAT proteins to regulate transcription. The β-adrenergic receptor is a G protein-coupled receptor that activates adenylyl cyclase via G proteins to produce cAMP and activate protein kinase A signaling cascades.
