Abstract
The serine/threonine kinase Traf2and Nck interacting kinase (TNIK), is a member of the germinal center kinase (GCK) family that has been reported to have an important role in the regulation of Jun N-terminal kinase pathway (JNK) activation and actin cytoskeleton. It has also been demonstrated that TNIK is an important activator of Wnt pathway, where it interacts with β-catenin/TCF4 complex, phosphorylates TCF4 inducing the transcription of Wnt target genes. In several studies, the expression of TNIK has been established to be involved in different human cancers.
丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶traf2和Nck相互作用激酶(TNIK)是生发中心激酶(GCK)家族的成员,据报道在Jun n -末端激酶途径(JNK)激活和肌动蛋白细胞骨架的调控中起重要作用。TNIK是Wnt通路的重要激活因子,与β-catenin/TCF4复合物相互作用,使TCF4磷酸化,诱导Wnt靶基因的转录。在一些研究中,已经确定TNIK的表达与不同的人类癌症有关。
