Kinase Classification: Group Atypical: Family MAPK

The MAPKs (Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase) are the final kinases of the MAPK cascade, which relay signals from the cell surface for growth, stress and other responses. The best-known MAPKs include Erk, which relays growth signals from the ras/raf pathway and receptor kinases, and the JNK and p38 subfamilies, which relay various stress signals.

MAPK subfamilies include

ERK1

[[Kinase_Subfamily_JNK|JNK]

[[Kinase_Subfamily_p38|[38]
