Immunopharmacology Comments
HGK is widely expressed in different tissues. In vitro, HGK is activated by TNFα stimulation, and this results in JNK activation via the MAP3K, TAK1 (MAP3K7) and the MAP2Ks, MKK4 (MAP2K4) and MKK7 (MAP2K7) [9,14-15]. HGK is important for regulating innate immune responses, in part by being involved in maintaining the resting state of T cells.

Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Click here for help
Whole body hgk knockout in mice is embryonic lethal. Nik-/- mice die postgastrulation between embryonic day (E) 9.5 and E10.5, indicating that hgk is required for mesodermal and somite development.
Species:  Mouse
Tissue: 
Technique:

Conditional knockout of hgk in mouse T cells induces spontaneous development of systemic inflammation and type 2 diabetes.
Species:  Mouse

References:  6
Conditional knockout (cKO) of HGK in endothelial cells shows that this kinase is involved in the control of endothelial cell motility. Heterozygous cKO mice show no defects, but homozygous cKO is embryonic lethal.
Species:  Mouse
Tissue: 
Technique:  A floxed allele of Map4k4 crossed to Tie2-Cre mice to induce endothelial cell conditional knockout mouse line.
References:  16
General Comments
In vitro analyses suggest that HGK is involved in promoting cell transformation or migration in cancers [11,18], and in the regulation of adipogenesis and TNFα-induced insulin resistance in pancreatic β cells [4-5].
