DEK protein

特許 権利維持 Protein DEK is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DEK gene.[1][2] This gene encodes a protein with one SAP domain. This protein binds to cruciform and superhelical DNA and induces positive supercoils into closed circular DNA and is also involved in splice site selection during mRNA processing. Chromosomal aberrations involving this region, increased expression of this gene and the presence of antibodies against this protein are all associated with various diseases.
