Monoclonal Anti-Death Associated Protein Kinase antibody produced in mouse has been used in immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation.
The gene is widely expressed in many tissues of embryonic and adult origin and gives rise to a single 6.3 Kb mRNA transcript. The protein consists of 1423 amino acids (160 kDa) and belongs to a family of calmodulin-dependent protein kinases. It contains 8 ankyrin repeats and 2 potential P-loop motifs apart from the kinase domain and the calmodulin regulatory domain.
Death-associated protein 1 (DAP1) participates in the regulation of cell growth and death including that of cancer cells. DAP-kinase has an intrinsic kinase activity towards itself that is regulated by calmodulin and calcium.
