Description

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) are serine/threonine kinases that convert extracellular stimuli into a wide range of cellular responses. MAPKs can be divided into conventional and atypical MAPKs, both of which phosphorylate target substrates on Ser or Thr followed by a Pro residue. (Adapted from PMID:21372320).
