PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.7.12.2
Accepted Name
mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase
Alternative Name(s)
MAP2K
MAP kinase kinase
MAPKK
MEK
MKK
Reaction catalysed
  • L-seryl-[protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-seryl-[protein] + ADP + H(+)
  • L-threonyl-[protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-threonyl-[protein] + ADP + H(+)
  • L-tyrosyl-[protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-tyrosyl-[protein] + ADP + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • A dual-specific protein kinase and requires mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) for activation.
  • It is required for activation of EC 2.7.11.24.
  • Phosphorylation of MEK1 by Raf involves phosphorylation of two serine residues.
  • Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathways are among the most widespread mechanisms of cellular regulation.
  • Mammalian MAPK pathways can be recruited by a wide variety of stimuli including hormones (e.g. insulin and growth hormone), mitogens (e.g. epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor), vasoactive peptides (e.g. angiotensin-II and endothelin), inflammatory cytokines of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family and environmental stresses such as osmotic shock, ionizing radiation and ischemeic injury.
