Description (eCommerce)
TAK1 (TGF-beta activated kinase 1) is also called mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 7 (MAP3K7). TAK1 is a serine/threonine protein kinase that mediates signals transduced by proinflammatory cytokines such as TGF-beta, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and wnt family ligands. TAK1 transduces signals by stimulating a MAPK pathway that ultimately stimulates JNK (c-terminal jun kinase) and p38 MAPKs. TAK1 is also an activator of the Ikappa B kinase that leads to the activation of NFkappa-B.
Description (Vector)
MAP3K7 is a member of the serine/threonine protein kinase family. This kinase mediates the signaling transduction induced by TGF beta and morphogenetic protein (BMP), and controls a variety of cell functions including transcription regulation and apoptosis. In response to IL-1, this protein forms a kinase complex including TRAF6, MAP3K7P1/TAB1 and MAP3K7P2/TAB2; this complex is required for the activation of nuclear factor kappa B. This kinase can also activate MAPK8/JNK, MAP2K4/MKK4, and thus plays a role in the cell response to environmental stresses. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported.
