Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** TNIK is a serine/threonine kinase that exhibits high specificity for phosphorylating and regulating various proteins. Its interaction with TRAF2 and NCK proteins is crucial for its function, as it enables the kinase to bind to and phosphorylate downstream targets. TNIK's kinase activity is also modulated by phosphorylation itself, creating a feedback loop that fine-tunes its activity in response to cellular signals. The gene's expression is widespread, with notable expression in cells involved in the central nervous system (CNS), including neurons and astrocytes. **Pathways and Functions:** TNIK is involved in various signaling pathways, including: 1. **Actin Cytoskeleton Organization:** TNIK regulates the dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton, which is essential for cellular movement, shape, and signaling. 2. **Apical Plasma Membrane:** TNIK's interaction with TRAF2 and NCK proteins is crucial for the regulation of the apical plasma membrane, which is involved in cellular responses to stimuli. 3. **Cellular Responses to Stimuli:** TNIK's kinase activity is essential for the regulation of cellular responses to stimuli, including stress and oxidative stress-induced senescence. 4. **Intracellular Signal Transduction:** TNIK's interaction with downstream targets modulates intracellular signal transduction, influencing the regulation of various cellular processes. 5. **Wnt Signaling Pathway:** TNIK's kinase activity is also involved in the regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway, which plays a critical role in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. **Clinical Significance:** Dysregulation of TNIK has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Neurodegenerative Disorders:** TNIK's role in regulating the actin cytoskeleton and intracellular signaling pathways positions it as a potential target for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. 2. **Cancer:** TNIK's involvement in the regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway and cellular responses to stress makes it a potential target for cancer therapy. 3. **Cardiac Disease:** TNIK's expression in cardiac fibroblasts and its role in regulating the actin cytoskeleton position it as a potential target for the treatment of cardiac disease. In conclusion, TNIK is a complex gene that plays a critical role in various cellular processes, including actin cytoskeleton organization, cellular responses to stimuli, and regulation of signaling pathways. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, making it a potential target for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders, cancer, and cardiac disease. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the functions of TNIK and its role in human disease.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
