Unless otherwise stated all data on this page refer to the human proteins. Gene information is provided for human (Hs), mouse (Mm) and rat (Rn).
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.
