Function

• highly selective for arachidonate-containing species of diacylglycerol (DAG)
• may terminate signals transmitted through arachidonoyl-DAG or may contribute to the synthesis of phospholipids with defined fatty acid composition
  

• ATP + 1,2- diacylglycerol = ADP + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3- phosphate

Structure

• belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family
• contains 1 DAGKc domain
• contains 2 phorbol-ester/DAG-type Zn+2 fingers

Compartment

• membrane ( potential)

Expression

• expressed predominantly in testis

More General Terms

• diacylglycerol kinase
• zinc finger protein
• membrane protein
