DGKZ diacylglycerol kinase zeta

Gene ID: 8525, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DAGK5; DAGK6; DGK-ZETA; hDGKzeta

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family. It may attenuate protein kinase C activity by regulating diacylglycerol levels in intracellular signaling cascade and signal transduction. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
