Also known as DGK-alpha
Summary
DGKA (diacylglycerol kinase alpha, HGNC:2849) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q13.2, encoding Diacylglycerol kinase alpha (P23743). Diacylglycerol kinase that converts diacylglycerol/DAG into phosphatidic acid/phosphatidate/PA and regulates the respective levels of these two bioactive lipids.
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family. It acts as a modulator that competes with protein kinase C for the second messenger diacylglycerol in intracellular signaling pathways. It also plays an important role in the resynthesis of phosphatidylinositols and phosphorylating diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Function. Diacylglycerol kinase that converts diacylglycerol/DAG into phosphatidic acid/phosphatidate/PA and regulates the respective levels of these two bioactive lipids. Thereby, acts as a central switch between the signaling pathways activated by these second messengers with different cellular targets and opposite effects in numerous biological processes. Also plays an important role in the biosynthesis of complex lipids. Can also phosphorylate 1-alkyl-2-acylglycerol in vitro as efficiently as diacylglycerol provided it contains an arachidonoyl group. Also involved in the production of alkyl-lysophosphatidic acid, another bioactive lipid, through the phosphorylation of 1-alkyl-2-acetyl glycerol.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytosol.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in lymphocytes.
Activity regulation. Stimulated by calcium and phosphatidylserine.
Pathway. Lipid metabolism; glycerolipid metabolism.
Miscellaneous. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
Similarity. Belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family.
