Dual-specificity kinase

In biochemistry, a dual-specificity kinase (EC 2.7.12.1) is a kinase that can act as both tyrosine kinase and serine/threonine kinase.

MEKs, involved in MAP pathways, are principal examples of dual-specificity kinases. Other common examples include:

The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP:protein phosphotransferase (Ser/Thr- and Tyr-phosphorylating).
