Dapk1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables ATP binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to type II interferon; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of NMDA receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway via death domain receptors. Located in cytoplasm. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; liver and biliary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in urinary bladder cancer and uterine fibroid. Orthologous to human DAPK1 (death associated protein kinase 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Dapk1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
