GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
DAPK2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
DRP-1, MGC119312
Description
Death-associated protein kinase 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a protein that belongs to the serine/threonine protein kinase family. This protein contains a N-terminal protein kinase domain followed by a conserved calmodulin-binding domain with significant similarity to that of death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1), a positive regulator of programmed cell death. Overexpression of this gene was shown to induce cell apoptosis. It uses multiple polyadenylation sites. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
