The Ras-MAPK Signal Transduction Pathway

Jack D. Thatcher^*

West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, 400 North Lee Street, Lewisburg, WV 24901, USA.

Abstract: This resource provides and describes two animated lessons that illustrate the Ras-MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) signal transduction pathway. They are designed for any collegiate-level course that presents the basic steps of the prototypical pathway. Courses that might employ these animations include Introductory Biology, Cell Biology, Physiology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Pharmacology.
