DGKK diacylglycerol kinase kappa

Gene ID: 139189, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that phosphorylates diacylglycerol, converting it to phosphatidic acid. The encoded protein is a membrane protein and is inhibited by hydrogen peroxide. Variations in this gene have been associated with hypospadias. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
