The human DEK gene encodes the DEK protein.

Function

This gene encodes a protein with one SAP domain. The protein binds to cruciform DNA and DNA coiled into a superhelix, thereby inducing positive supercoils into closed circular DNA. It 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.

Interactions

DEK interacts with TFAP2A.
