DAPK3

Death-associated protein kinase 3 is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DAPK3 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
Death-associated protein kinase 3 (DAPK3) induces morphological changes in is_associated_with::apoptosis when overexpressed in mammalian cells. These results suggest that DAPK3 may play a role in the induction of apoptosis.

Unlike most other mammalian genes, murine (rat and mouse) DAPK3 has undergone accelerated evolution and diverged from the tightly conserved consensus that is maintained from fish to human.

Interactions
DAPK3 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::PAWR and is_associated_with::Death associated protein 6.
