The MEK/ERK cascade: from signaling specificity to diverse functions.

Abstract excerpt

The ERK signaling cascade is a central MAPK pathway that plays a role in the regulation of various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, development, learning, survival and, under some conditions, also apoptosis. The ability of this cascade to regulate so many distinct, and even opposing, cellular processes, raises the question of signaling specificity determination by this cascade. Here we...
