• Background: MEK1is a dual specificity protein kinase that belongs to the MAP kinase kinase family. This kinase is known to play a critical role in mitogen growth factor signal transduction. It phosphorylates and thus activates MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK2/ERK3. The activation of this kinase itself is dependent on the Ser/Thr phosphorylation by MAP kinase kinase kinases. The inhibition or degradation of this kinase is found to be involved in the pathogenesis of Yersinia and anthrax.
• Synonyms: MAPKK 1, ERK activator kinase 1, MAPK/ERK kinase 1, MEK1, PRKMK1, MAP kinase kinase 1
• Note: Molecular weight: 44424 Da
