Dgkq Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables ATP-dependent diacylglycerol kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; glycerolipid metabolic process; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Located in nuclear matrix and nuclear speck. 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 rat 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.
