Abstract
The nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) is a key player in the NFAT pathway, regulating various cellular processes physiologically and pathologically. NFAT signaling is implicated in developing multiple diseases, such as cancer progression, that are associated with angiogenesis. Despite numerous studies on NFAT, there is still a dearth of information on the proteins and signaling pathway compared to other established pathways. With five NFAT proteins in the spotlight, this review aims to update the understanding of their roles and signaling by analyzing the most recent studies on the NFAT pathway. The recent insights into NFAT proteins and their association with diseases enhance our understanding of these proteins and open the possibility of developing therapeutic strategies for such diseases.
