We are unsure about the nature of the 70 kDa band. However, DRAK2 is autophosphorylated and it is possible that this band corresponds to the phosphorylated form. The fact that the detection of this band is blocked by DRAK2 peptide indicates that it probably is closely related to the DRAK2 protein.

Product details

Apoptosis is mediated by death domain containing adapter molecules and a caspase family of proteases. Certain serine/threonine protein kinases, such as ASK-1 and RIP,are mediators of apoptosis. Two novel serine/threonine kinases that induce apoptosis were recently identified and designated DRAK1 and DRAK2 (for DAP kinase-related apoptosis-inducing protein kinases) (1). DRAKs contain anN-terminal kinase domain and a C-terminal regulation domain. Overexpression of DRAK2 induces apoptosis. DRAKs have high sequence homology to DAP and ZIP kinases, and they represent a novel family of serine/threonine kinases, which mediates apoptosis through their catalytic activities. DRAK2 is located in nucleus and the messenger RNA was ubiquitously expressed in human tissues.

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

DRAK2 also known as Death-associated protein kinase-related apoptosis-inducing protein kinase 2 is part of the serine/threonine kinase family. This protein has a molecular weight of about 48 kDa. DRAK2 expresses mostly in lymphoid tissues including the spleen and thymus. It plays a role in negative regulation during T-cell receptor signaling and is important during lymphocyte activation.
Biological function summary

The role of DRAK2 extends beyond kinase activity. It is involved in immune response modulation and can affect apoptosis in T lymphocytes. DRAK2 is not part of a larger protein complex but rather acts independently to exert its function. It influences cellular mechanisms by altering signaling pathways that impact cell survival and death.

Pathways

You find DRAK2 involved in both the T-cell receptor signaling and apoptosis pathways. It connects to the T-cell receptor pathway due to its regulation of T-cell activation and proliferation. DRAK2 activity can interact with proteins such as calmodulin and Protein Kinase C in these pathways indicating its role in signaling transduction critical for T-cell function.

DRAK2 links to autoimmune diseases and cancer. Abnormal DRAK2 expression might contribute to autoimmune conditions like multiple sclerosis by affecting T-cell autoreactivity. Its involvement in cancer emerges through regulation of apoptosis where malfunction may lead to resistance against cell death aiding cancer cell survival. In this context DRAK2 connection with proteins such as caspases plays a role in mediating apoptotic pathways in cells.
