  MEK
MEK is a dual-specificity kinase that phosphorylates the tyrosine and threonine residues on ERKs 1 and 2 required for activation.
MEKs are substrates for several protein kinases including the Rafs (c-, A- and B-), Mos, Tpl-2, and MEKK1.
MEKs are phosphorylated by these kinases at two serine residues (218 and 222 in rat MEK1).
