Opis

General description

Mitogen activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK)1 is a hydrophilic non-receptor protein and is a member of dual specificity protein kinase family. It is ubiquitously expressed.[1] MAP2K1 is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 15q22.31.[2]

Application

MEK1, active, GST tagged human has been used to induce kinase reactions in in vitro mitogen activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK)1 kinase assay.[3] It has also been used to activate extracellular-signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK2) by phosphorylation.[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mitogen activated protein kinase/ERK kinase (MEK)1/2 catalyzes the phosphorylation of tyrosine and then threonine in extracellular-signal-regulated kinase1/2. As an essential component of RAS−RAF−MEK−ERK signaling pathway (MAP kinase signaling cascade), it is involved in the regulation of apoptosis, cell cycle progression, cell migration, differentiation, metabolism, and proliferation.[1] Constitutive activation of MEK1 results in cellular transformation. Thus, MEK1 represents a likely target for pharmacologic intervention in proliferative diseases such as cancer.[5]

Physical form
