Gene Symbol MAP2K1
Synonyms CFC3 | MAPKK1 | MEK1 | MEL | MKK1 | PRKMK1
Gene Description MAP2K1 (MEK1), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1, is a serine-threonine kinase, which activates the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway in cell proliferation and differentiation (PMID: 22753777). MAP2K1 (MEK1) activating mutations have been identified in a number of solid tumor types including, melanoma (PMID: 29753091), colorectal (PMID: 28819429), lung adenocarcinoma (PMID: 25351745, PMID: 32361034), histiocytic sarcoma (PMID: 29768143), and Map2k1 mutations are often associated with resistance to Mek and Raf inhibition (PMID: 29753091).

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Variant Impact Protein Effect Variant Description Associated with drug Resistance
A76fs frameshift loss of function - predicted MAP2K1 A76fs results in a change in the amino acid sequence of the Map2k1 protein beginning at aa 76 of 393, likely resulting in premature truncation of the functional protein (UniProt.org). A76fs has not been characterized, however, due to loss of the protein kinase domain (UniProt.org), is predicted to lead to a loss of Map2k1 protein function.
act mut unknown gain of function MAP2K1 act mut indicates that this variant results in a gain of function in the Map2k1 protein. However, the specific amino acid change has not been identified.
fusion fusion unknown MAP2K1 fusion indicates a fusion of the MAP2K1 gene, but the fusion partner is unknown.
inact mut unknown loss of function MAP2K1 inact mut indicates that this variant results in a loss of function of the Map2k1 protein. However, the specific amino acid change has not been identified.
mutant unknown unknown MAP2K1 mutant indicates an unspecified mutation in the MAP2K1 gene.
