ResumoOne of the hallmarks of cAMP is its ability to inhibit proliferation in many cell types, but stimulate proliferation in others. Clearly cAMP has cell type specific effects and the outcome on proliferation is largely attributed to crosstalk from cAMP to the RAS/RAF/mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) and extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) kinase (MEK)/ERK pathway. We review the crosstalk between these two ancient and conserved pathways, describing the molecular mechanisms underlying the interactions between these pathways and discussing their possible biological importance.
