The genome sequencing of Giardia lamblia revealed the presence of two MAPK genes, one of them similar to the already-well-known mammalian MAPKs (ERKs, p38s, etc.), the other one showing similarities to the mammalian ERK7 protein.
A secuenciación do xenoma de Giardia lamblia revelou a presenza de dous xenes MAPK, un deles similar aos ben coñecidas MAPK de mamíferos (ERKs, p38s etc.), e a outra mostraba semellanzas coa proteína ERK7 de mamíferos.
