Nck-associated protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCKAP1 gene. By somatic cell hybrid analysis, the NCKAP1 gene was mapped to chromosome 2. NCKAP1 is a predicted type II transmembrane protein, with a C-terminal transmembrane domain. It was demonstrated that suppression of NCKAP1 expression using an antisense NCKAP1 oligonucleotide induced apoptosis of neuronal cells.
