Did you mean ERK Pathway?

GlossaryERK Pathway

chain of proteins transmitting signals from cell surface to DNA

The ERK Pathway, also known as the Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase Pathway, is a chain of proteins in the cell that communicates signals from a receptor on the cell's surface to the DNA in the nucleus. This pathway plays a crucial role in regulating various cellular activities, including growth, division, and differentiation. It is particularly important in the context of hair biology, as disruptions in this pathway can influence hair growth and contribute to conditions like alopecia.
