To date, no substrates of MEKother than MAPK have been identified; however, recent CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED reports indicate that MEK may also be activated by other APPLICATIONS upstream signal proteins such as MEK kinase or MEKK1 and PKC. Activated MAPK translocates and accumulates in the This application is a continuation application of U.S. appli nucleus, where it can phosphorylate and activate transcription cation Ser.
