Dgkq Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP-dependent diacylglycerol kinase activity; enzyme binding activity; and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activator activity. Involved in regulation of synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynapse; and presynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DGKQ (diacylglycerol kinase theta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Dgkq often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
