Gene information for DGKD (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8527
Official gene symbolDGKD
Full namediacylglycerol kinase, delta 130kDa
Aliases,DGKdelta,FLJ26930,KIAA0145,dgkd-2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a cytoplasmic enzyme that phosphorylates diacylglycerol to produce phosphatidic acid. Diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid are two lipids that act as second messengers in signaling cascades. Their cellular concentrations are regulated by the encoded protein, and so it is thought to play an important role in cellular signal transduction. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
