Murine protein serine-threonine kinase 38 (MPK38), also known as maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase (Melk), is a member of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-related kinase family and regulates multiple cellular processes, including cell cycle, stem cell self-renewal, apoptosis, carcinogenesis, and metabolism, and is activated in response to apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1)/TGF-β/p53 signals. A serine/threonine protein phosphatase PP5 has been sugges...
