Scientific Background: ZC2 (TNIK; TRAF2 and NCK-interacting protein kinase) is a protein-serine/threonine kinase of the STE group and STE20 family. It may be involved in cytoskeleton regulation. Mutations at the 54, 152-153 and 171-172 positions of ZC2 lead to loss of autophosphorylation. It acts as an essential activator of the Wnt signaling pathway, and is recruited to promoters of Wnt target genes and required to activate their expression. It may act by phosphorylating TCF4/TCF7L2, and appears to function upstream of the JUN N-terminal pathway. It may mediate part of the response to environmental stress. It is part of a signaling complex composed of NEDD4, RAP2A and TNIK, which regulates neuronal dendrite extension and arborization during development. More generally, it may play a role in cytoskeletal rearrangements and regulate cell spreading. Phosphorylates SMAD1 on T322.
