BackgroundExtracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (Erk1/2) belong to the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) super family associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis. Erk1/2 may be activated by a variety of extracellular stimuli including mitogen, growth factors, and cytokines. After Erks have been activated, they will proceed to phosphorylate several other downstream molecules that are involved in a range of cell activities. The MAPK signaling pathway is a frequent target for oncology-related drug development.
