Description
Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) are regulators of the intracellular concentration of the second messenger diacylglycerol (DAG) and thus play a key role in cellular processes. Nine mammalian isotypes have been identified, which are encoded by separate genes. Mammalian DGK isozymes contain a conserved catalytic (kinase) domain and a cysteine-rich domain (CRD). The protein encoded by the DGKB gene is a diacylglycerol kinase, beta isotype. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Enables ATP-dependent diacylglycerol kinase activity and lipid binding activity. Involved in glycerolipid metabolic process and lipid phosphorylation. Located in cytosol and plasma membrane.

3 Proteins

3.1 Protein Function

Diacylglycerol kinase that converts diacylglycerol/DAG into phosphatidic acid/phosphatidate/PA and regulates the respective levels of these two bioactive lipids (PMID: 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).

Does not associate with membranes but has a diacylglycerol kinase activity.
