Serine/threonine kinase which acts as an essential component of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway (PubMed:34497368). MAPK1/ERK2 and MAPK3/ERK1 are the 2 MAPKs which play an important role in the MAPK/ERK cascade. They participate also in a signaling cascade initiated by activated KIT and KITLG/SCF. Depending on the cellular context, the MAPK/ERK cascade mediates diverse biological functions such as cell growth, adhesion, survival and differentiation through the regulation of transcription, translation, cytoskeletal rearrangements. The MAPK/ERK cascade also plays a role in initiation and regulation of meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions in differentiated cells by phosphorylating a number of transcription factors. About 160 substrates have already been discovered for ERKs. Many of these substrates are localized in the nucleus, and seem to participate in the regulation of transcription upon stimulation. However, other substrates are found in the cytosol as well as in other cellular organelles, and those are responsible for processes such as translation, mitosis and apoptosis. Moreover, the MAPK/ERK cascade is also involved in the regulation of the endosomal dynamics, including lysosome processing and endosome cycling through the perinuclear recycling compartment (PNRC); as well as in the fragmentation of the Golgi apparatus during mitosis. The substrates include transcription factors (such as ATF2, BCL6, ELK1, ERF, FOS, HSF4 or SPZ1), cytoskeletal elements (such as CANX, CTTN, GJA1, MAP2, MAPT, PXN, SORBS3 or STMN1), regulators of apoptosis (such as BAD, BTG2, CASP9, DAPK1, IER3, MCL1 or PPARG), regulators of translation (such as EIF4EBP1) and a variety of other signaling-related molecules (like ARHGEF2, DEPTOR, FRS2 or GRB10) (PubMed:35216969). Protein kinases (such as RAF1, RPS6KA1/RSK1, RPS6KA3/RSK2, RPS6KA2/RSK3, RPS6KA6/RSK4, SYK, MKNK1/MNK1, MKNK2/MNK2, RPS6KA5/MSK1, RPS6KA4/MSK2, MAPKAPK3 or MAPKAPK5) and phosphatases (such as DUSP1, DUSP4, DUSP6 or DUSP16) are other substrates which enable the propagation the MAPK/ERK signal to additional cytosolic and nuclear targets, thereby extending the specificity of the cascade.

Purified from rabbit serum by sequential epitope-specific chromatography. The antibody has been negatively preadsorbed using a non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the sites of phosphorylation to remove antibody that is reactive with non-phosphorylated ERK 1 + 2. The final product is generated by affinity chromatography using an ERK 1 + 2-derived peptide that is phosphorylated at threonine 202/185 and tyrosine 204/187, respectively, within the activation loop.
Erk1 and Erk2 also known as MAPK3 and MAPK1 are part of the mitogen-activated protein kinase family. These proteins play an important role in signal transduction. Erk1 has a mass of about 44 kDa while Erk2 is slightly smaller at approximately 42 kDa. Both proteins are widely expressed in a variety of tissues contributing to the transmission of signals from the cell surface to the DNA in the cell nucleus. Specifically Erk1 and Erk2 are activated through dual phosphorylation at threonine 202 and tyrosine 204 for Erk1 and threonine 185 and tyrosine 187 for Erk2.
Erk1 and Erk2 are involved in several essential cellular processes including proliferation differentiation and survival. They often operate as part of a larger complex engaging with other proteins to drive cellular responses. Upon activation they move from the cytoplasm to the nucleus where they regulate the activity of various transcription factors. Erk signaling can adjust gene expression by phosphorylating nuclear targets which influences cell cycle progression and apoptosis.
Both Erk1 and Erk2 mainly operate within the MAPK/ERK pathway. This signaling pathway is important for transmitting signals from growth factors and other extracellular stimulants. Related proteins such as Ras and Raf are upstream activators in the pathway. Downstream Erk proteins can impact other cascades including those governing cellular growth and division. By interacting with multiple proteins within these pathways Erk1 and Erk2 ensure accurate cellular responses to environmental changes.
Alterations in the function of Erk1 and Erk2 can contribute to cancer development such as colorectal cancer and melanoma. Misregulation of Erk signaling can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor growth. These proteins also connect to neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease where disrupted Erk signaling may contribute to neuronal damage. Erk1 and Erk2 interact with other disease-related proteins like BRAF in cancer and APP in Alzheimer's highlighting their role in disease pathophysiology.
