OverviewNCBI Gene
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]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads DAPK2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DAPK2 could matter depends on whether native DAPK2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
DAPK2 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label DAPK2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
