Description
The MEK5 (also known as MKK5, MAPKK5, SKK5) is a dual specificity serine/threonine protein kinase belonging to the MAP kinase kinase family. It catalyzes tyrosine phosphorylation of ERK5 whereas MEK5 itself is regulated by MEKK3. An important link between MEK5 and metastatic prostrate cancer has been demonstrated. Dual phosphorylation of Ser311 and Thr315 have been implicated in cell proliferation
