    basic FUNCTION
  • a role for a stauro-resistant Bcl2 kinase
  • phosphorylating microtule associated protein 2, myelin basic protein and ELK1
  • promoting entry in the cell cycle
  • activation of MAPK3 is a key regulator of the increased transition to hypertrophic differentiation of the growth plate
  • has a specific role in thymocyte development (
  • a critical regulatory role in the long-term adaptive changes underlying striatum-dependent behavioral plasticity and drug addiction (
  • has a crucial role in cardiac hypertrophy
  • plays a more prominent and dose-dependent role in the pathogenesis of NS-related valve disease than MAPK1
  • playing essential roles in osteoblast differentiation and in supporting osteoclastogenesis
  • plays a key role in the regulation of apoptosis during retinal development (
  • isoform-specific roles of MAPK3 and MAPK1 in the control of arteriogenesis

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • p44 MAPK-deficient mice are viable, fertile, and of normal size but p44 MAPK-/- mice thymocyte maturation beyond the CD4+CD8+ stage was reduced by half and proliferation in response to activation with a monoclonal antibody to the T cell receptor in the presence of phorbol myristate acetate was severely reduced (
  • mice lacking ERK1 display a dramatic enhancement of striatum-dependent long-term memory (
  • disrupted Mapk1/mapk3 in mouse granulosa cells provide in vivo evidence that these kinases are necessary for LH-induced oocyte resumption of meiosis, ovulation, and luteinization
  • double knock-out newborn pups for Erk1 and Erk2 survived for not more one day, appeared normal just after parturition, displayed intracerebral hemorrhages with varying location and severity, ventricular zones and corpus callosum did not develop properly and nuclear morphology in some brain regions were markedly aberrant (
  • double knock-out mice deficient for Erk2 in the central nervous system, with ubiquitous homozygous deletion of Erk1 were neonatally lethal (
