Abstract excerpt
Mutations in TAOK1, which encodes a serine-threonine kinase, are associated with both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and neurodevelopmental delay (NDD). Here, we investigated the molecular function of this evolutionarily conserved kinase and the mechanisms through which TAOK1 mutations may lead to neuropathology. We found that TAOK1 was abundant in neurons in the mammalian brain and remodeled the neuronal plasma...
