What are the Key Components of the RAS-MAPK Pathway?
The key components of this pathway include: - RAS: A small GTPase that acts as a molecular switch. - RAF: A serine/threonine kinase that is activated by RAS. - MEK: A dual-specificity kinase that is activated by RAF. - ERK: A MAPK that is activated by MEK and translocates to the nucleus to modulate gene expression.
