DAPK1 death associated protein kinase 1

Gene ID: 1612, updated on 23-Jul-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DAPK; ROCO3

Summary

Death-associated protein kinase 1 is a positive mediator of gamma-interferon induced programmed cell death. DAPK1 encodes a structurally unique 160-kD calmodulin dependent serine-threonine kinase that carries 8 ankyrin repeats and 2 putative P-loop consensus sites. It is a tumor suppressor candidate. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2013]
