MAPK Signaling Pathway

The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) family is a group of serine/threonine kinases that mediate intracellular signaling. The activation of MAPK involves a cascade consisting of MAPK kinase (also known as MAPKKK or MEKK) that activates MAPK/ERK (also known as MAPKK or MEK). This stimulates a phosphorylation-dependent increase in the activity of MAPK.
