Immunopharmacology Comments
GLK (KHS2; MAP4K3) is ubiquitously expressed. It is involved in cellular responses to stress and inflammation [5], and is important for generating a protective immune memory against pathogens. GLK activates JNK (via MEKK1/MAP3K1), and NF-κB signalling in antigen-engaged T cells (via a SLP-76-dependent mechanism) [3].
GLK expression is elevated in T cells isolated from patients with autoimmune diseases, including SLE [3], adult-onset Still's disease [1] and rheumatoid arthritis [2], and given that numbers of GLK-expressing T cells correlate with disease severity in these conditions, it is likely that GLK overexpression and activation of downstream signalling pathways contributes to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.
Immuno Process Associations
Immuno Process:  Cytokine production & signalling
Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Click here for help
MIce deficient for glk show a phenotype which is opposite to that of hpk1 knockout mice, i.e. glk-deficiency produces mice with impaired T cell activation, reduced cytokine production, decreased antibody production after KLH immunization, and which are resistant to experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induction.
