Abstract

TBC1 domain containing kinase (TBCK) protein is composed of three conserved domains, including N‑terminal Serine/Threonine kinase domain, central TBC domain and C‑terminal rhodanese homology domain (RHOD). A total of 9 different transcripts (classified as long and short TBCK) generated by alternative splicing have been reported in different cell lines. Exogenous expression of long TBCK has been identified to function as a suppressor of cell growth in certain cell types. On the contrary, TBCK has also been reported to serve a tumor‑promoting role in other cell lines, indicating that TBCK might function differentially, depending on the context in different cellular environments. Furthermore, deleterious homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations identified by whole‑exome sequencing in the TBCK gene could ablate the function of TBCK, further impacting the mTOR signaling pathway and leading to neurogenetic disorders, such as hypotonia, global developmental delay, facial dysmorphic features and brain abnormalities. However, as a poorly explored protein, there are a lot of studies associated with the functions of TBCK that need to be performed in the future. The present review summarizes data regarding the structural features and potential roles of TBCK in developmental and neurological diseases and tumorigenesis. Future prospects of TBCK research lie in revealing numerous biological functions of TBCK.
