GlossaryERK inhibitors

drugs that block proteins involved in cell signaling

ERK inhibitors are drugs or molecules that block the activity of ERK (Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinases), which are proteins involved in sending signals within cells. These signals can control various functions, including cell growth and division. By inhibiting ERK, these drugs can potentially treat conditions like cancer, where cell growth is uncontrolled, or even certain types of hair loss by affecting the pathways that regulate hair follicle activity.
