Gene:
diacylglycerol kinase, epsilon 64kDa
Gene ID:
194120
Symbol:
DGKE
Species:
1000
Description:
Diacylglycerol kinases are thought to be involved mainly in the regeneration of phosphatidylinositol (PI) from diacylglycerol in the PI-cycle during cell signal transduction. When expressed in mammalian cells, DGK-epsilon shows specificity for arachidonyl-containing diacylglycerol. DGK-epsilon is expressed predominantly in testis.
