    text
  • presence of the T299 site of phosphorylation correlates with cytoplasmic localization
  • basic FUNCTION
  • inducing apoptosis
  • myosin-light chain kinase
  • transcriptional co-activator of the AR (interaction of ZIP kinase with AR seems to be mediated in part by apoptosis antagonizing transcription factor and in part by direct binding)
  • binding partner of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4), a member of the activating transcription factor/cyclic AMP-responsive element-binding family of transcription factor proteins
  • plays a crucial role in androgen receptor-mediated transcription
  • implicated in cell death and transcriptional regulation
  • tumor suppresser gene, playing an important role in gastric cancer development through its pro-apoptotic function
  • may act as a cardiac regulatory light chain kinase and thereby affect contractility
  • Ca2+-independent kinase with various substrates participating in diverse processes, ranging from promotion of apoptosis, to attenuation of inflammatory signaling, to regulation of contraction in smooth muscle
  • with PPP1R14A, participate in the regulation of PRKCA and PRKCE on vascular calcium sensitivity after hemorrhagic shock
  • Ca(2+)-independent protein kinase that promotes myosin phosphorylation in both smooth muscle and non-muscle cells
  • tumor suppressor in which loss-of-function mutations promote increased cell survival, proliferation, cellular aggregation, and increased resistance to chemotherapy
  • may serve as a transcriptional regulator of canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling through interaction with NLK/TCF4
  • controls proliferation, migration, invasion, soft&
  • 8209;agar colony formation and tumor growth through activation of ERK/MYC signaling in A549 cells

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with ATF4, a member of the ATF/CREB family
  • phosphorylating the regulatory light chain of myosin II in a Ca2+/calmodulin dependent manner
  • phosphorylates an immune disease-related IL6 signal transducer, STAT3, and regulates its activation
  • transcriptional co-activator of the AR (interaction of DAPK3 with AR seems to be mediated in part by apoptosis antagonizing transcription factor and in part by direct binding)
  • UBE2D3 is a DAPK3-binding partner (induced ubiquitination of DAPK3)
  • NLK is a DAPK3 -binding partner and DAPK3 regulates NLK-mediated repression of canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling
  • DAPK3 may be involved in the regulation of the cell cycle in human cells, by interacting with CDC14A
