Background
DRAK2 is a novel serine/threonine kinase that induces apoptosis via catalytic activity. DRAKs present high sequence homology to DAP and ZIP kinases, and they represent a novel family of serine/threonine kinases. DRAK2 is located in nucleus, and the messenger RNA is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues.
