Human Gene Set: GOBP_MAPK_CASCADE

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_MAPK_CASCADE

Standard name GOBP_MAPK_CASCADE
Systematic name M40318
Brief description An intracellular protein kinase cascade containing at least a MAP kinase (MAPK). It starts with the activation of a MAP3K, and the consecutive activation of a MPK2K and a MAPK. The cascade can also contain an additional tier: the upstream MAP4K. The kinases in each tier phosphorylate and activate the kinase in the downstream tier to transmit a signal within a cell.
