Serine/threonine kinase is an essential activator of the Wnt signalling pathway. Recruited to promoters of Wnt target genes and required to activate their expression. It may act by phosphorylating TCF4/TCF7L2. It appears to work upstream of the JUN N-terminal pathway. Expression of TNIK is highly controlled and enriched in the hypothalamus and cortex. TNIK is part of a signalling complex composed of NEDD4 and RAP2A, which regulates neuronal dendrite extension during development.
Intellectual developmental disorder, autosomal recessive 54 (MRT54), is a disease caused by variants in MINK1. MRT54 disorder manifests as intellectual disability, delayed speech, and hyperactivity.
Inhibitors or targeted degradation of TNIK are both routes explored for therapeutics against lung squamous cell carcinoma, synovial carcinoma, and colon cancer.
We also have antibodies to the TNIK paralog, MINK1.
