Preferred Label : Mitogen-Activated protein kinase 1;
MeSH definition : A proline-directed serine/threonine protein kinase which mediates signal transduction
from the cell surface to the nucleus. Activation of the enzyme by phosphorylation
leads to its translocation into the nucleus where it acts upon specific transcription
factors. p40 MAPK and p41 MAPK are isoforms.;

Registry Number MeSH : EC 2.7.11.24;
MeSH annotation : Don't confuse MAP Kinase 2 with MAP KINASE KINASES referred to as MAP2 Kinases;
