Indeed, human CK1 has cancer-associated functions linked to its involvement in the Wnt (Wingless/Int-1), Hh (Hedgehog), and Hippo signalling pathways (Knippschild et al., 2014; Xu et al., 2019), as well as an involvement in viral, bacterial and parasitic infections (Cegielska and Virshup, 1993; Jayaswal et al., 2010; Durieu et al., 2016; Zhang et al., 2017). This evidence concerns the gene CSNK1A1 and parasitic infectious disease.
