Function

edit

This gene is a member of the death-associated protein (DAP) kinase-related apoptosis-inducing protein kinase family and encodes an autophosphorylated nuclear protein with a protein kinase domain. The protein has apoptosis-inducing activity.[3]

In a recent study the gene (among others) shows a major role in centenarians longer lifespan.[4]
