Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Kinase 1 (MEK1 or MAP2K1), also known as MKK1, belongs to the family of STE kinases. Both MEK1 and the related MEK2 aredual‑specificity kinases, phosphorylating and activating the mitogen-activated protein kinases ERK1 and ERK2 at T and Y positions within the phosphoacceptor sequence T-E-Y. Activation of MEK1 by Raf occurs through phosphorylation at S218 and S222.
