Dgkd Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables ATP-dependent diacylglycerol kinase activity. Involved in diacylglycerol catabolic process; negative regulation of phospholipase C/protein kinase C signal transduction; and positive regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in clathrin-coated pit; cytoplasmic vesicle; and cytosol. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; immune system; musculature; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Used to study Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Orthologous to human DGKD (diacylglycerol kinase delta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Dgkd often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
