Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase [sic] is a kinase enzyme which phosphorylates mitogen-activated protein kinase. It is also known as MAP2K. It is classified as EC 2.7.12.2.

There are seven genes:

MAP2K1 (aka MEK1)
MAP2K2 (aka MEK2)
MAP2K3 (aka MKK3)
MAP2K4 (aka MKK4}
MAP2K5 (aka MKK5)
MAP2K6 (aka MKK6)
MAP2K7 (aka MKK7)

The activators of p38 (MKK3 and MKK4), JNK (MKK4), and ERK (MEK1 and MEK2) define independent MAP kinase signal transduction pathways.^[1]
