Anti-DAP-1 / Death-associated protein 1

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Death-associated protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DAP gene. This gene encodes a basic, proline-rich, 15-kD protein. The protein acts as a positive mediator of programmed cell death that is induced by interferon-gamma. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. Protein function: Ribosome-binding protein involved in ribosome hibernation, a process during which ribosomes are stabilized in an inactive state and preserved from proteasomal degradation. Acts via its association with eiF5a (EIF5A and EIF5A2) at the polypeptide exit tunnel of the ribosome, preventing mRNA translation. Involved in ribosome hibernation in the mature oocyte by preventing mRNA translation, leading to ribosome inactivation. Ribosomes, which are produced in large quantities during oogenesis, are stored and translationally repressed in the oocyte and early embryo. Also acts as a negative regulator of autophagy (PubMed:20537536). Involved in mediating interferon-gamma-induced cell death (PubMed:7828849). [The UniProt Consortium]
