Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase [sic] (also known as MAP2K) is a kinase enzyme which phosphorylates mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK).

MAP2K is classified as EC 2.7.12.2.

There are seven genes:

The activators of p38 (MKK3 and MKK6), JNK (MKK4 and MKK7), and ERK (MEK1 and MEK2) define independent MAP kinase signal transduction pathways.[1]
