NUAK family SNF1-like kinase 1 also known as AMPK-related protein kinase 5 (ARK5) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the NUAK1 gene.[1][2][3]


Function

Clinical significance

ARK5 is important in tumor malignancy and invasiveness.[4]

Research findings

ARK5 is often overexpressed in multiple myeloma cell lines.[5][6] ARK5 promotes tumor cell survival under regulation by Akt.[4]

ARK5 increases MT1-MMP production.[4] (MT1-MMP activates MMP-2 and MMP-9 which are involved in tumor metastasis.[4])

As a drug target

ON123300 (a CDK4 inhibitor), also inhibits ARK5 and reduces proliferation of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma cell lines.[5]

Interactions

NUAK1 has been shown to interact with USP9X[7] and Ubiquitin C.[7]
