UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q6NS52 (Q6NS52)
Gene Name:
Dgkb
Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse)
Function: Diacylglycerol kinase that converts diacylglycerol/DAG into phosphatidic acid/phosphatidate/PA and regulates the respective levels of these two bioactive lipids (PubMed:20657643). 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 (PubMed:20657643)
