Gene information for DGKI (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9162
Official gene symbolDGKI
Full namediacylglycerol kinase, iota
Aliases,DGK-IOTA,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the type IV diacylglycerol kinase subfamily. Diacylglycerol kinases regulate the intracellular concentration of diacylglycerol through its phosphorylation, producing phosphatidic acid. The specific role of the enzyme encoded by this gene is undetermined, however, it may play a crucial role in the production of phosphatidic acid in the retina or in recessive forms of retinal degeneration.
