Abstract excerpt
Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) is a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine kinase that has been implicated as a positive mediator of apoptosis. However, little is known about the involvement of DAPK in the apoptosis associated with several pathological states, except for cancer. Here, DAPK-mutant mice were used in order to examine the role of DAPK in renal cell apoptosis in chronic obstructive...
