Abstract excerpt
Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) is a calcium/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine kinase localized to renal tubular epithelial cells. To elucidate the contribution of DAPK activity to apoptosis in renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, wild-type (WT) mice and DAPK-mutant mice, which express a DAPK deletion mutant that lacks a portion of the kinase domain, were subjected to renal pedicle clamping and...
