The human genome encodes three thousand and one amino acid (TAO) kinase genes. The enzymes regulate MAPK and Hippo signaling pathways and have pleiotropic functions, participating in a range of cellular processes including stress responses, cell proliferation, immune responses and neurodevelopment [1]. Whilst the N-terminal catalytic domains of the three TAOKs are conserved, divergent non-catalytic functions appear to be mediated by regulatory domains in the protein structures, Dysregulated activity has been associated with neurological disorders.
