Target Details for MEK1/2

Target: MEK1/2 (MAP2K1/2) (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase 1/2 (MAP2K1/2))

Alternative Name: MEK1/2

Background: MEK (MAPKK, kinase of mitogen-activated protein kinase) is the medium one of three components of MAP kinase cascade –, an important signaling pathway that regulates cell growth and differentiation. Raf (MAPKKK) activates MEK 1 and 2 via phosphorylation of two serine residues (Ser218 and Ser222). Activated MEK 1/2 then acts as a dual specificity kinase phosphorylating both a threonine and a tyrosine residue on ERK (MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase). This phosphorylation of ERK by MEK 1/2 is a critical step in the MAP kinase cascade. Phosphorylated ERK is capable of translocating to the nucleus, where it regulates gene expression by activating transcription factors.,MAPKK 1/2, MKK1/2
