Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways play central roles in controlling diverse cellular functions. They are finely regulated by several mechanisms, including scaffolding of their components, and phosphorylation/dephosphorylation and compartmentalization of MAPKs. A number of molecules have been identified as regulators involved in these mechanisms. They modulate the magnitude and the specificity of MAPK signaling, and thereby regulate the wide variety of signaling outputs. Recent studies have identified novel functions of the MAPK signaling pathways. It is becoming clear that strict regulation of the MAPK pathways underlies their manifold functions in numerous biological processes.
