Synonyms | DAGK2, KIAA0718 |
Function | Diacylglycerol kinase that converts diacylglycerol/DAG into phosphatidic acid/phosphatidate/PA and regulates the respective levels of these two bioactive lipids (PubMed:11719522). 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 (Probable). Has a higher activity with long-chain diacylglycerols like 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycerol compared to 1,2-didecanoyl-sn-glycerol (By similarity). Specifically expressed in brain, it regulates neuron-specific morphological changes including neurite branching and neurite spine formation (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Postsynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6NS52}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6NS52}. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasm Note=Translocation to the plasma membrane is induced by phorbol esters |
Tissue Location | [Isoform 1]: Specifically expressed in brain but also detected in uterus (PubMed:11719522). In adult brain, expressed in the amygdala, caudate nucleus, and hippocampus (PubMed:11719522) |

Background
Diacylglycerol (DAG) is an allosteric activator of protein kinase C. DAG also participates in regulating RAS and RHO family proteins by activating the guanine nucleotide exchange factors VAV and RASGRP1. DAG is also involved in the synthesis of phospholipids and triacylglycerols. Tight regulation of DAG levels is achieved via DAG kinases (DGKs), which remove DAG by phosphorylate it to phosphatidic acid. Several mammalian isozymes of DAGK have been identified
