The classic MAPK cascade involves activation of the small GTPase Ras, and the kinases Raf and MEK [86,87]. Downstream consequences of MAPK activation include activation of the ribosomal S6 kinases (Rsk) and the MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAP2), which phosphorylates several transcription factors including Elk-1 and cAMP-regulated response element binding protein (CREB) [85]. The physiological significance of this elaborate NGF-induced network remains unclear, but the sustained activation of MAPK is linked to neurotrophin-mediated neurite outgrowth [88,89] PubMed:18986241

For example, NGF signal transduction activates the MAPK pathway, which participates in a wide array of biologic functions, including cell survival, differentiation and apoptosis [82–84]. MAPK is a serine/ threonine protein kinase which becomes activated upon phosphorylation and affects a wide variety of transcription factors [85]. PubMed:18986241
