Catalogue

Background
DAP12 is a transmembrane adaptor protein that is non-covalently associated with several cell surface receptors on natural killer (NK), myeloid, and presumably neuronal cells (1,2). DAP12 contains an ITAM domain that preferentially recruits the protein tyrosine kinase Syk to initiate signal transduction (3). Deficiency of DAP12 results in reduced antigen presentation function by myeloid cells and defects in function of certain NK cell receptors in mice (4,5), as well as presenile dementia and bone cysts in humans (6).

Synonyms: TYRO protein tyrosine kinase-binding protein; DNAX-activation protein 12; Killer-activating receptor-associated protein; KARAP; TYROBP

Source
