DGKZ diacylglycerol kinase zeta [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 8525)
Symbol: DGKZ
Full name: diacylglycerol kinase zeta
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: DAGK5; DAGK6; DGK-ZETA; hDGKzeta
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family. It may attenuate protein kinase C activity by regulating diacylglycerol levels in intracellular signaling cascade and signal transduction. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]
