title: Sequence of a rat cDNA encoding the ERK1-MAP kinase.
abstract: Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are cytoplasmic and/or nuclear protein kinases which are activated by one or several signal transduction pathways from the cell surface into the nucleus. Their activity is regulated by phosphorylation on Tyr as well as on Ser/Thr residues. A cDNA encoding the rat ERK1 member of the MAP kinase family was isolated and sequenced. The longest cDNA consisted of 1875 nucleotides and coded for a polypeptide of 380 amino acids with a predicted M(r) of 42987.
