Scientists have investigated a group of proteins which are important for cell division and therefore also for uncontrolled cell growth as occurring during cancerogenesis. Some experiments now lead them to an unexpected trace: they discovered an unknown regulation mechanism of the MEK enzymes, the key elements of the MAP signal transduction pathway.
