Background
Kinase suppressor of Ras (KSR) and MAP kinase kinase kinase (MEKK3) are integral members of the MAP kinase pathway. Ksr is a conserved protein that positively regulates Ras signaling and may function as a scaffold for Raf, MEK and ERK. There are two types of Ksr proteins: Ksr-1 and Ksr-2. These two are individually necessary for a few specific Ras-dependent processes, but they are required together for most aspects of Ras-mediated signaling. Ksr-2 plays a key role in Ras-mediated signaling during germline meiotic progression and functions redundantly with Ksr-1 during the development of the excretory system pathway, hermaphrodite vulva and male spicules. Ksr-2 also functions as a negative regulator of the MEKK3-mediated activation of the MAP kinase pathways (specifically ERK and JNK) and of the NFκB pathways, and it simultaneously inhibits MEKK3-mediated IL-8 production.Synonyms: KSR-2, KSR2, hKSR-2, hKSR2
