MAPK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Pathways) pathways charge a great array of physiological processes. A MAPK pathway is a control of proteins where a series of three protein kinases set in motion single another by means of phosphorylation. The MAPK pathway was at called the ERK (extracellular signal¨Cregulated kinase) pathway. These pathways were discovered in cancer cells, and are being investigated for their part in cancer.
