MAPK signal transduction
MAPK signaling

MAPKKK cascade
MAPKKK cascade during sporulation
mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade

Definition

An intracellular protein kinase cascade containing at least a MAP kinase (MAPK). It starts with the activation of a MAP3K, and the consecutive activation of a MPK2K and a MAPK. The cascade can also contain an additional tier: the upstream MAP4K. The kinases in each tier phosphorylate and activate the kinase in the downstream tier to transmit a signal within a cell. (2)
