DGKQ

Protein-coding gene in humans

Image credit is listed at the end of this article.

Diacylglycerol kinase theta is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DGKQ gene.

The protein encoded by this gene contains three cysteine-rich domains, a proline-rich region, and a pleckstrin homology domain with an overlapping Ras-associating domain. It is localized in the speckle domains of the nucleus, and mediates the regeneration of phosphatidylinositol (PI) from diacylglycerol in the PI-cycle during cell signal transduction.

01Interactions

DGKQ has been shown to interact with RHOA.
