Serine/threonine-protein kinase TAO3, Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma-associated antigen HD-CL-09, CTCL-associated antigen HD-CL-09, Dendritic cell-derived protein kinase, JNK/SAPK-inhibitory kinase, Jun kinase-inhibitory kinase, Kinase from chicken homolog A, hKFC-A, Thousand and one amino acid protein 3, TAOK3, DPK, JIK, KDS, MAP3K18
TAOK3 is negatively regulated by epidermal growth factor (EGF) and Inhibits the basal activity of Jun kinase. When TAOK3 is overexpressed, it may activate ERK1/ERK2 and JNK/SAPK.
