MAP KINASE SIGNALING SYSTEM

Specialty Definition: MAP KINASE SIGNALING SYSTEM

DomainDefinition

Health

An intracellular signaling system involving the MAP kinase cascades (three-membered protein kinase cascades). Various upstream activators, which act in response to extracellular stimuli, trigger the cascades by activating the first member of a cascade, MAP kinase kinase kinases (MAPKKKs). Activated MAPKKKs phosphorylate mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases which in turn phosphorylate the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). The MAPKs then act on various downstream targets to affect gene expression. In mammals, there are several distinct MAP kinase pathways including the ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) pathway, the SAPK/JNK (stress-activated protein kinase/c-jun kinase) pathway, and the p38 kinase pathway. There is some sharing of components among the pathways depending on which stimulus originates activation of the cascade. (references)
