Abstract
DAP12, an ITAM-bearing transmembrane adaptor protein, associates non-covalently with receptors in natural killer (NK) and myeloid cells, and provides signaling function via the Syk and ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase activation pathways. Humans and mice lacking DAP12 (DAP12−/−) show normal development of hematopoietic cells. However, DAP12−/− humans develop presenile dementia and bone cysts, and DAP12−/− mice show impaired immune responses.
