Abstract
All of our cells are able to respond to external signals. For example, external factors such as hormones can instruct a cell to divide whilst certain stresses, such as inflammatory signals, help to coordinate the response to injury. These cellular decisions require the expression of new genes which in turn give rise to new proteins that help to coordinate the cellular response. Defects in this process underpin a variety of diseases including cancer and inflammation. MAPKAPK-2 is an enzyme which may be important in coordinating some cellular responses and this project seeks to understand how this enzyme is regulated
