Function | Serine/threonine-protein kinase that acts as a regulator of the p38/MAPK14 stress-activated MAPK cascade and of the MAPK8/JNK cascade. In response to DNA damage, involved in the G2/M transition DNA damage checkpoint by activating the p38/MAPK14 stress-activated MAPK cascade, probably by mediating phosphorylation of upstream MAP2K3 and MAP2K6 kinases. Inhibits basal activity of the MAPK8/JNK cascade and diminishes its activation in response to epidermal growth factor (EGF). Positively regulates canonical T cell receptor (TCR) signaling by preventing early PTPN6/SHP1-mediated inactivation of LCK, ensuring sustained TCR signaling that is required for optimal activation and differentiation of T cells (PubMed:30373850). Phosphorylates PTPN6/SHP1 on 'Thr-394', leading to its polyubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation (PubMed:38166031). Required for cell surface expression of metalloprotease ADAM10 on type 1 transitional B cells which is necessary for their NOTCH-mediated development into marginal zone B cells (By similarity). Also required for the NOTCH-mediated terminal differentiation of splenic conventional type 2 dendritic cells (By similarity). Positively regulates osteoblast differentiation by acting as an upstream activator of the JNK pathway (PubMed:32807497). Promotes JNK signaling in hepatocytes and positively regulates hepatocyte lipid storage by inhibiting beta-oxidation and triacylglycerol secretion while enhancing lipid synthesis (PubMed:34634521). Restricts age-associated inflammation by negatively regulating differentiation of macrophages and their production of pro- inflammatory cytokines (By similarity). Plays a role in negatively regulating the abundance of regulatory T cells in white adipose tissue (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Membrane raft. Lipid droplet. Note=Located primarily outside cell membrane rafts and remains outside upon canonical TCR ligation (PubMed:30373850). A small pool is detectable in cell membrane rafts in resting conditions but relocates outside the rafts upon TCR signaling (PubMed:30373850). Localizes to lipid droplets in hepatocytes (PubMed:34634521). |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitously expressed at a low level, and highly expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs), thymus, spleen, kidney, skeletal muscle, heart and liver. |

Background
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.
