Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables ATP binding activity; calmodulin binding activity; and protein kinase activity. Involved in cellular response to type II interferon; intracellular signal transduction; and negative regulation of apoptotic process. 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).
