Entrez gene ID1606
Official gene symbolDGKA
Full namediacylglycerol kinase, alpha 80kDa
Aliases,DAGK,DAGK1,DGK-alpha,MGC12821,MGC42356,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family. It acts as a modulator that competes with protein kinase C for the second messenger diacylglycerol in intracellular signaling pathways. It also plays an important role in the resynthesis of phosphatidylinositols and phosphorylating diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and four transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
