Name: MAPK cascade
Synonyms: ERK/MAPK cascade, MAP kinase cascade, MAP kinase kinase kinase cascade, MAPK signal transduction, MAPK signaling, MAPK signalling, MAPKKK cascade, MAPKKK cascade during sporulation, mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade
Definition: An intracellular protein kinase cascade containing at least a MAP kinase (MAPK). It starts with the activation of a MAP3K, and the consecutive activation of a MPK2K and a MAPK. The cascade can also contain an additional tier: the upstream MAP4K. The kinases in each tier phosphorylate and activate the kinase in the downstream tier to transmit a signal within a cell.
