GlossaryExtracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK)

protein that transmits signals from cell surface to DNA

Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) is a type of protein kinase that plays a crucial role in the MAPK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase) signaling pathway. It helps transmit signals from the cell surface to the DNA in the cell nucleus, influencing processes like cell division, differentiation, and survival. This pathway is important in various biological functions and can be implicated in conditions like cancer and alopecia when dysregulated.
