Dagla Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable lipoprotein lipase activity and monoacylglycerol lipase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including arachidonate metabolic process; diacylglycerol catabolic process; and retrograde trans-synaptic signaling by endocannabinoid. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cannabinoid biosynthetic process; endocannabinoid signaling pathway; and monoacylglycerol biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in early endosome membrane; synaptic membrane; and varicosity. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; dendrite membrane; and postsynaptic membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung cancer. Orthologous to human DAGLA (diacylglycerol lipase alpha). [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 rat Dagla often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
