  2. MAP kinase kinase kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAP_kinase_kinase_kinase

    Mitogen Activated Protein (MAP) kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK, [1] MKKK, [2] M3K, [3] or, MAP3K [4]) is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase which acts upon MAP kinase kinase. Subsequently, MAP kinase kinase activates MAP kinase. Several types of MAPKKK can exist but are mainly characterized by the MAP kinases they activate.

  3. Mitogen-activated protein kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitogen-activated_protein...

    They regulate cell functions including proliferation, gene expression, differentiation, mitosis, cell survival, and apoptosis. [1] MAP kinases are found in eukaryotes only, but they are fairly diverse and encountered in all animals, fungi and plants, and even in an array of unicellular eukaryotes. [citation needed]

  4. MAPK/ERK pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPK/ERK_pathway

    One of the first proteins known to be phosphorylated by ERK was a microtubule-associated protein (MAP). As discussed below, many additional targets for phosphorylation by MAPK were later found, and the protein was renamed "mitogen-activated protein kinase" (MAPK). The series of kinases from RAF to MEK to MAPK is an example of a protein kinase ...

  5. Extracellular signal-regulated kinases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_signal...

    In molecular biology, extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) or classical MAP kinases are widely expressed protein kinase intracellular signalling molecules that are involved in functions including the regulation of meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions in differentiated cells.

  6. Protein kinase domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_kinase_domain

    The protein kinase domain is a structurally conserved protein domain containing the catalytic function of protein kinases. [2] [3] [4] Protein kinases are a group of enzymes that move a phosphate group onto proteins, in a process called phosphorylation. This functions as an on/off switch for many cellular processes, including metabolism ...

  7. Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitogen-activated_protein...

    Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (also known as MAP2K, MEK, MAPKK) is a dual-specificity kinase enzyme which phosphorylates mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK). ...

  8. MAPK3 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPK3

    The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) family. MAP kinases, also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), act in a signaling cascade that regulates various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and cell cycle progression in response to a variety of extracellular signals.

  9. MAPK1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPK1

    The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases, also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), act as an integration point for multiple biochemical signals, and are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, transcription regulation and development.
