General Information
Term ERK5 cascade ID (Ontology) GO:0070375 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A MAPK cascade containing at least the ERK5 MAP kinase (MAPK7; also called BMK1). It starts with the activation of a MAP3K, and the consecutive activation of a MPK2K and of ERK5. The cascade can also contain an additional tier: the upstream MAP4K. The kinases in each tier phosphorylate and activate the kinases in the downstream tier. The ERK5 cascade is activated by stress, mitogens, and by G protein-coupled receptors, and results in cellular responses such as cell growth, cell differentiation and development.[ PubMed:16376520 PubMed:16880823 PubMed:20811974 PubMed:23125017 PubMed:28903453 ]
Also Known As "big MAP kinase signaling cascade" ; "BMK cascade" ; "BMK signaling pathway" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
