MEK, Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type: protein kinase
MEK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase) is a protein kinase that plays a crucial role in the regulation of cell growth, differentiation, and survival.
MEK is often overexpressed or mutated, leading to the activation of downstream signaling pathways that promote cell growth, survival, and metastasis. MEK inhibitors have been developed as a therapeutic strategy to target cancer cells and inhibit their growth.
