DAP Antibody

DAP Antibody: The Death-associated protein (DAP) is a basic proline-rich 15kDa protein that as a positive mediator of programmed cell death that is induced by interferon-gamma (1). DAP is also a direct substrate of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cell growth and cell cycle, and a negative regulator of autophagy. Under rich nutrient conditions, mTOR phosphorylates DAP at Ser3 and Ser51; under starvation conditions, these residues are dephosphorylated and DAP is converted into an active suppressor of autophagy (2).
