TAK1 is a serine/threonine protein kinase that mediates signaling by TGFβ and morphogenetic protein (BMP). In response to IL-1, TAK1 forms a kinase complex with TAB1 and this complex is required for the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NfκB). TAK1 can also activate MAPK8/JNK and MAP2K4/MKK4 and thus play a role in the cell response to environmental stress. Tak1 is essential for thymocyte development and activation and deletion of TAK1 prevents maturation of single-positive thymocytes displaying CD4 or CD8. Thymocytes lacking TAK1 fail to activate NfκB and JNK and are prone to apoptosis upon stimulation.

The protein kinase TAK1 mediates the activation of NF-kappaB in response to stimulation by proinflammatory cytokines and microbial pathogens in the innate immunity pathways. However, the physiological function of TAK1 in the adaptive immunity pathways is unclear. By engineering mice
