The phrase "activated not only by" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to indicate that something is triggered or initiated by multiple factors or elements, emphasizing that there is more than one cause.
Example: "The system is activated not only by user input but also by environmental changes."
Alternatives: "triggered not just by" or "initiated not solely by".
Interestingly, PPARα is an important activator of fatty acid catabolism and may be activated not only by AMPK, but also by fatty acids, fibrates, and eicosanoids [ 48].
AKT can be activated not only by extracellular growth factor signals, but by activation of DNA-PK (DNA dependent protein kinase) which was described to be overexpressed in platinum resistant high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas [ 38].
They sell it as a natural, non-invasive therapy, using non-toxic light-sensitive substances such as chlorophyll which "explode" with oxygen, killing the cancer cells when activated not only by light but also by ultrasound waves which, they say, can reach every part of the body.
Moreover, the insular cortex is activated not only by taste but also by non-taste information from oral stimuli.
The MOP receptor is activated not only by morphine, but also by other opiate drugs such as methadone and endogenous opioids such as endorphins.
In contrast to NFATc2, NF-κB is activated not only by ionomycin but need PMA in addition.
9, 10 Therefore, Akt1 and Akt2 are activated not only via signaling pathways, but also by their own genetic alterations.
These results indicate that GGLO1, GDEF1 and GDEF2 are activated not only for their (putative) transcriptional function by heterodimer formation, but also for their capacity to recruit additional proteins to form a transcriptional complex.
Surprisingly, IPA activates not only IRE1's RNase, but also PERK signaling but, by contrast to its ability to activate IRE1, only at low concentrations.
These data suggest that indigested gliadin peptides have strong biological activity not only by activating the adaptive immune response but also by initiating at the level of the intestinal epithelium stress/innate immune response.
The Wnt pathway can be activated aberrantly not only by mutations in APC but also by CTNNB1 gene encoding b-catenin, leading to ligand-independent Wnt signaling [ 8, 9].
