GlossaryPhosphorylation of ERK (Extracellular signal-regulated kinase phosphorylation)

process activating ERK protein by adding phosphate groups

Phosphorylation of ERK, also known as ERK activation, refers to the process where the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) protein is activated by the addition of phosphate groups. This activation is a crucial step in the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway, which transmits signals from the cell surface to the DNA in the cell nucleus, influencing cell functions such as division, differentiation, and survival. This process is significant in various biological contexts, including hair growth and the response to stress or injury.
