MAPKkaskadi
MAPKkaskadi, often referred to as the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) cascade, is a fundamental signaling pathway found in eukaryotic cells. This pathway plays a crucial role in transmitting extracellular signals to the nucleus, ultimately influencing a wide range of cellular processes. These processes include cell proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The cascade is characterized by a series of sequentially activated protein kinases.
The core of the MAPK cascade involves three key kinases, often referred to as a "three-tiered kinase
There are several distinct MAPK pathways within cells, each activated by specific extracellular stimuli and leading
