basic FUNCTION
| playing an important role in the tau cascade and in spinocerebellar degeneration |
|
having a role in preventing tau toxicity |
|
Ser/Thr kinase that putatively phosphorylates residues Ser208 and Ser210 (numbered according to a 441-AA human tau isoform) in tau protein  |
|
key biochemical functions of TTBK2 are required for ciliogenesis  |
|
protein kinase important for transitioning centrioles from the cell cycle to postmitotic assembly of axonemes  |
|
is a dedicated regulator of the initiation of ciliogenesis  |
|
is not required for the formation of mature basal bodies, but is required to initiate assembly of the ciliary axoneme  |
|
TTBK2 activity at the centrosome may lead to the removal of CCP110, either directly or indirectly, in order to prime the basal body for cilia formation  |
|
TTBK2 also acts upstream of CEP164, contributing to the assembly of distal appendages  |
|
is essential for regulating the growth of axonemal microtubules in ciliogenesis  |
|
is a multifunctional kinase involved in important cellular processes and demands augmented efforts in investigating its function  |
|
TTBK2 with MAPRE1/MAPRE3 phosphorylates KIF2A and antagonizes KIF2A-induced depolymerization at microtubules plus ends for cell migration  |
|
is a key regulator of the assembly of primary cilia  |
|
new functions for TTBK2 after cilia initiation in the control of cilia length, trafficking of a subset of SHH pathway components, including Smoothened (SMO), and cilia stability  |
