Summary
MAP3K7 (TAK1) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase family that, together with its activator TAK1-binding protein 1 (TAB1), activates the IKK signallosome and thus regulates NF-kappaB activation.
MAP3K7 is an essential intermediate of NOD2 signalling where MAP3K7 deletion completely abolishes muramyl dipeptide (MDP)-NOD2 signalling, activation of NF-kappaB and MAPKs, and the subsequent induction of cytokines/chemokines in keratinocytes.
MAP3K7 mediates the activation signal from TLRs to nuclear factor-kappaB in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated macrophages.
MAP3K7 acts as an upstream activating kinase for IKBKB (IKK-beta) and MAPK8 (JNK), but not CHUK (IKK-alpha), revealing a specific role of MAP3K7 in inflammatory signalling pathways.
MAP3K7 (TAK1) functions as a mediator in the signalling pathway of TGF-beta superfamily members.
MAP3K7 induces NF-kappaB activation through a MAP3K14 (NIK)-independent signalling pathway.
MAP3K7 links TRAF6 to the MAP3K14 (NIK)-IKK cascade in the IL-1 signalling pathway where activated MAP3K7 phosphorylates NIK, which stimulates IKK-alpha activity.
MAP3K7 is a target for glucocorticoids that integrates their anti-inflammatory action in innate immunity signalling pathways.
MAP3K7 plays a central role in controlling nuclear and cytoplasmic signalling cascades in primary neutrophils where it constitutively associates with the IKBKB (I-kappa-B kinase) complex in the nucleus and cytoplasm, impacting downstream signalling processes.
MAP3K7 activation is impaired during endotoxin tolerization; a process which impairs the production of LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines without inhibition expression of anti-inflammatory or anti-microbial mediators.
MAP3K7 polyubiquitination is essential for the activation of NF-kB signalling downstream of TNF receptor, IL1 receptor and TLR4.
MAP3K7 is necessary for the neutrophil priming effect of leukotriene B (4) to enhance TLR stimulation. (Demonstrated in mice)
MAP3K7 (TAK1) Ser412 phosphorylation is regulated by PRKACA and PRKX, and is essential for proper signalling, as well as proinflammatory cytokine induction by TLR/IL-1R activation.
ECSIT binds to MAP3K7 and TRAF6 to form a complex that plays a pivotal role in activating TLR4-mediated NF-kB signalling.
Endotoxin tolerance re-programs TLR4 signalling via suppression of PELI1, a positive regulator of MyD88- and TIR domain-containing adapter inducing IFN-β (TRIF)-dependent signalling that promotes K63-linked polyubiquitination of IRAK1, TBK1, and TAK1.

Entrez Gene
Summary The protein encoded by this gene 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
