Gene information for DGKE (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8526
Official gene symbolDGKE
Full namediacylglycerol kinase, epsilon 64kDa
Aliases,DAGK5,DAGK6,DGK,
Gene summaryDiacylglycerol kinases are thought to be involved mainly in the regeneration of phosphatidylinositol (PI) from diacylglycerol in the PI-cycle during cell signal transduction. When expressed in mammalian cells, DGK-epsilon shows specificity for arachidonyl-containing diacylglycerol. DGK-epsilon is expressed predominantly in testis. [provided by RefSeq]
