Scientific Background: ERK5 (MAPK7) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the CMGC group and MAPK family. It is important in controlling a cell's proliferation, differentiation, and cell survival. Phosphorylation of T219 and Y221 by MEK5 (MAP2K5) increases the phosphotransferase activity of ERK5. MEK5 is activated in response to hyperosmolarity, hydrogen peroxide, and epidermal growth factor (EGF). ERK5 may be a tumour requiring protein (TRP). Although there has been no direct linkage of ERK5 to formation of carcinomas in humans in vivo, in vitro ERK5 over-expression has been shown to increase metastasis, and ERK5 inhibition has been shown to inhibit osteosarcoma cell motility. Upregulation of the MEK5 gene has been noted in breast, prostate, and liver cancer.
