Overview

MAP kinase kinase kinase (or MAP3K or MEKK) is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase which acts upon MAP kinase kinase.

There are 15 genes:

MEKK1 activates MAPK8/JNK by phosphorylation of its activator SEK1(MAP2K4).[1] MAP3K3 directly regulates the MAPK8/JNK and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) pathways by activating SEK and MEK1/2 respectively; it does not regulate the p38 pathway.[2] MAP3K7(TAK1)participate in regulation of transcription by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta).[3]
