Target Details for MEK2

Target: MEK2 (MAP2K2) (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase 2 (MAP2K2))

Alternative Name: MEK2 (MAP2K2)

Background: MAP2K2 is 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.
