MAPKAPK

MAPKAPK, or Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase-Activated Protein Kinase, is a type of enzyme involved in cellular communication. It acts as a switch that turns on certain proteins in response to signals like stress, inflammation, or growth factors. This activation helps regulate important processes, including cell growth, division, and survival. MAPKAPK functions within a larger signaling pathway, known as the MAPK pathway, which ensures cells respond appropriately to their environment. Overall, MAPKAPK plays a crucial role in how cells adapt and function under various conditions.
