Erk (Extracellular signal-Related Kinase) is a family of two, highly homologous proteins denoted as Erk1 (p44, MAPK3) and Erk2 (p42, MAPK1) that both function in the same pathway. The two proteins are often referred to collectively as Erk1/2 or p44/p42 MAP kinase. The Erk pathway is considered the classical, canonical MAPK (Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase) signaling pathway. It is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that controls and is a critical regulator of the growth and survival through the promotion of cell proliferation and the prevention of apoptosis. Erk is involved in the control of many fundamental cellular processes including cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, apoptosis, motility and metabolism. Erk is activated by growth factor stimulation of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), GPCR, and/or integrin stimulation. This activates the Ras-Raf-MEK-Erk pathway that results in the phosphorylation/activation of Erk1/2 (p44/p42) on the TxY motif (Thr202/Tyr204 and Thr185/Tyr187 for Erk1 & Erk2, respectively).

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases, also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), act in a signaling cascade that regulates various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and cell cycle progression in response to a variety of extracellular signals. This kinase is activated by upstream kinases, resulting in its translocation to the nucleus where it phosphorylates nuclear targets. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
FUNCTION: Involved in both the initiation and regulation of meiosis, mitosis, and postmitotic functions in differentiated cells by phosphorylating a number of transcription factors such as ELK-1. Phosphorylates EIF4EBP1; required for initiation of translation. Phosphorylates microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2). Phosphorylates SPZ1 (By similarity). Phosphorylates heat shock factor protein 4 (HSF4).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.
COFACTOR: Magnesium (By similarity).
ENZYME REGULATION: Activated by tyrosine phosphorylation in response to insulin and NGF.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with MORG1 (By similarity). Binds to HIV-1 Nef. This interaction inhibits its kinase activity. Interacts with HSF4 and NISCH.
DOMAIN: The TXY motif contains the threonine and tyrosine residues whose phosphorylation activates the MAP kinases.
PTM: Dually phosphorylated on Thr-202 and Tyr-204, which activates the enzyme.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CMGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase subfamily.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
