TBK1, also known as NAK or NFkB-activating kinase, is an upstream protein kinase that can phosphorylate and activate the IkB kinases . Activation of IkB kinases allows the phosphorylation of IkB protein which is then degraded via the ubiquitination pathway. This mechanism allows the activation of the NFkB transcriptional complex. TBK1 is a specific upstream regulator of IkB kinases and can also interact and the IkB protein TANK. TBK1 is a component of the virus-activated kinase that phosphorylate IRF3 and IRF7 allowing their dimerization and translocation to the nucleus, where they induce transcription of interferon .
