Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase

From Proteopedia

Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 3 (green) complex with MAP2K5 PHOX domain (grey) (PDB code 2o2v). Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase or DLK (MAP3K) are serine/threonine kinases which regulate various cellular activities in response to extracellular stimuli by mitogens, heat shock and more. MAP3K is part of the MAPK cascade which consists also of MAPK and MAP2K which are activated by phosphorylation. MAP3K activates MAP2K[1]. Disease MAP3K1 mutations are observed in various cancer types and in particular in luminal beast cancer[2].
