Source: NCBI Gene (ID 139189)
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 139189)
Symbol: DGKK
Full name: diacylglycerol kinase kappa
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that phosphorylates diacylglycerol, converting it to phosphatidic acid. The encoded protein is a membrane protein and is inhibited by hydrogen peroxide. Variations in this gene have been associated with hypospadias. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
