TNIK TRAF2 and NCK interacting kinase

Gene ID: 23043, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MRT54

Summary

Wnt signaling plays important roles in carcinogenesis and embryonic development. The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine kinase that functions as an activator of the Wnt signaling pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with an autosomal recessive form of cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
