DGKK
geneOn this page
Summary
DGKK (diacylglycerol kinase kappa, HGNC:32395) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp11.22, encoding Diacylglycerol kinase kappa (Q5KSL6). 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 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.

- FMRP is mostly associated diacylglycerol kinase kappa (Dgkkappa), a master regulator that controls the switch between diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid signaling pathways. (PMID:27233938)
- This study successfully implicated DGKK variants in hypospadias risk among a Han Chinese population, especially for mild/moderate cases. Severe forms of hypospadias are likely due to other genetic factors (PMID:28597849)
- Our study provides strong evidence of an association between DGKK nucleotide variants, haplotypes and hypospadias susceptibility. (PMID:29464676)
- Five DGKK variants previously reported as associated with hypospadias were identified in the genotype data. None of the variants were associated with second- or third-degree hypospadias (range of odds ratios = 0.7-0.9, all p > .05). None of the variants were associated with second- or third-degree hypospadias (range of odds ratios = 0.7-0.9, all p > .05). (PMID:31102501)

Alternative names: 142 kDa diacylglycerol kinase, Diglyceride kinase kappa
All UniProt accessions (1): Q5KSL6
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
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.
Subunit / interactions. Does not form homooligomers.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in testis, and to a lesser extent in placenta.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated at Tyr-78 by some member of the SRC family in response to H(2)O(2).
Activity regulation. Inhibited in response to H(2)O(2).
Pathway. Lipid metabolism; glycerolipid metabolism.
Similarity. Belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 115 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
