Such a pathway can trigger the assembly of new molecules, such as a fat or protein.
Pathways can also turn genes on and off, or spur a cell to move.
[1] Some of the most common biological pathways are involved in metabolism, the regulation of gene expression and the transmission of signals.
Pathways play a key role in advanced studies of genomics.
Most common types of biological pathways:[1] In neuroanatomy, a neural pathway is the connection formed by axons that project from neurons to make synapses onto neurons in another location, to enable neurotransmission (the sending of a signal from one region of the nervous system to another).
