Gene information for DGKB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1607
Official gene symbolDGKB
Full namediacylglycerol kinase, beta 90kDa
Aliases,DAGK2,DGK,DGK-BETA,KIAA0718,
Gene summaryDiacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) are regulators of the intracellular concentration of the second messenger diacylglycerol (DAG) and thus play a key role in cellular processes. Nine mammalian isotypes have been identified, which are encoded by separate genes. Mammalian DGK isozymes contain a conserved catalytic (kinase) domain and a cysteine-rich domain (CRD). The protein encoded by this gene is a diacylglycerol kinase, beta isotype. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
