Enables ATP-dependent diacylglycerol kinase activity. Involved in diacylglycerol metabolic process; intracellular signal transduction; and response to oxidative stress. Located in plasma membrane.
RGD Description
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]
