Daxx - death-domain associated protein

Enables JUN kinase binding activity; androgen receptor binding activity; and kinesin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including PML body organization; cellular response to anoxia; and positive regulation of histone phosphorylation. Located in several cellular components, including PML body; XY body; and microtubule. Used to study transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in islet cell tumor and ovary epithelial cancer. Orthologous to human DAXX (death domain associated protein).
