HPK1 is a brake inside immune cells: it dampens a T cell's response once the cell has recognised its target. Blocking it is meant to let T cells attack a tumour harder, and an HPK1 inhibitor is in an early trial, alone and with a checkpoint antibody. This dossier gathers the 1 product (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Hematopoietic cell-restricted MAP4K family serine/threonine kinase; a negative regulator of T-cell receptor signalling in the cited mouse studies, so inhibition is an immune-activating rather than a tumour-cell-killing strategy.
