| GO id: | GO:0070371 |
| Definition: | An intracellular protein kinase cascade containing at least ERK1 or ERK2 (MAPKs), a MEK (a MAPKK) and a MAP3K. The cascade can also contain two additional tiers: the upstream MAP4K and the downstream MAP Kinase-activated kinase (MAPKAPK). The kinases in each tier phosphorylate and activate the kinases in the downstream tier to transmit a signal within a cell. |
| Comments | Note that this MAPKKK cascade is commonly referred to as the ERK pathway in the literature, but involves only ERK1 or ERK2, not other ERK kinases. |
| Number of paths to term: | 10 |
