The phrase "activates target" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to technology, gaming, or any situation where a specific action triggers a response or effect on a designated target.
Example: "The new software update activates target features that enhance user experience."
Alternatives: "triggers target" or "engages target".
Such data suggest that PXR-mediated transcriptional control may be subject to both feed-back and feed-forward control mechanisms, such that PXR activation both activates target gene expression and represses PXR expression.
The activated β-catenin translocates to the nucleus and activates target genes in TGF-β signaling [1,7,8].
A simple model postulates that a morphogen activates target genes by directly activating a latent transcriptional activator (Driever et al., 1989).
It is of note, however, that MED12 directly interacts with mammalian β-catenin and activates target genes, thus indicating that MED12 also has an alternative activating role [ 48].
For instance, activation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) by EGF leads to phosphorylation of the Ser118 residue in the ERα AF-1 domain by p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), which in turn recruits the coactivator p68/p72 and activates target gene transcription in a ligand-independent manner [ 80, 81].
The parameters a1 and a2 are activation rate coefficients; a2 is proportional to the rate at which component x1 activates target x2.
Androgen exerts its biologic effects by binding to and activation of androgen receptor (AR) that trans-activates target genes through androgen responsive element (ARE) in the promoter of target genes [ 15].
STATs are cytosolic proteins that, upon activation, translocate in to the nucleus to activate target genes.
Early studies suggested that specificity is dictated by sets of differentially induced transcription factors that synergistically activate target genes containing their binding sites.
In response to specific metabolic signals, protein kinases phosphorylate and activate target proteins that amplify the signal into cellular growth cascades.
The phosphorylated STAT1 dimerizes and translocates to the nucleus to activate target genes [43].
