DGKE


Description

The DGKE gene provides instructions for making a protein called diacylglycerol kinase epsilon. This enzyme plays a crucial role in cell signaling by converting diacylglycerol (DAG) into phosphatidic acid (PA). DAG is a signaling molecule involved in various cellular processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and inflammation. DGKE, by regulating DAG levels, influences these processes, impacting cell behavior and potentially contributing to disease development.
