Death-associated protein kinase 3 is an enzyme
Enzyme
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates...

 that in humans is encoded by the DAPK3 gene
Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Interactions

DAPK3 has been shown to interact
Protein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...

PAWR
PRKC, apoptosis, WT1, regulator, also known as PAWR or Prostate apoptosis response-4 , is a human gene coding for a tumor-suppressor protein that induces apoptosis in cancer cells, but not in normal cells....

Death associated protein 6
Death-associated protein 6 also known as DAXX is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DAXX gene.- Function :DAXX, a death-domain-associated protein, was first discovered through its cytoplasmic interaction with the classical death receptor Fas...
