Diacylglycerol kinase η1 is a high affinity isozyme for diacylglycerol [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2015
Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) η plays important roles in various patho‐physiological events such as oncogenesis. In this study, we performed an enzymological characterization of DGKη splice variant 1 (DGKη1). The K m value for diacylglycerol was 0.14 mol%.

The role of diacylglycerol in the exocytosis of the sperm acrosome. Studies using diacylglycerol lipase and diacylglycerol kinase inhibitors and exogenous diacylglycerols [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1992
When ram spermatozoa were treated with Ca2+ and the ionophore A23187 to induce acrosomal exocytosis, a rise in diacylglycerol (DAG) mass was observed, concomitant with a rapid breakdown of [32P]P1-labelled phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and a rise in [32P]Pi-labelled phosphatidate. Inclusion of the DAG lipase

DIP2 is a unique regulator of diacylglycerol lipid homeostasis in eukaryotes

eLife, 2022
Chain-length-specific subsets of diacylglycerol (DAG) lipids are proposed to regulate differential physiological responses ranging from signal transduction to modulation of the membrane properties.

Effect of Diacylglycerol Crystallization on W/O/W Emulsion Stability, Controlled Release Properties and In Vitro Digestibility

Foods, 2023
Water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions with high-melting diacylglycerol (DAG) crystals incorporated in the oil droplets were fabricated and the compositions were optimized to achieve the best physical stability.

A review of phosphatidate phosphatase assays

Journal of Lipid Research, 2020
Phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP) catalyzes the penultimate step in the synthesis of triacylglycerol and regulates the synthesis of membrane phospholipids.

Comparative membrane lipidomics of hepatocellular carcinoma cells reveals diacylglycerol and ceramide as key regulators of Wnt/β‐catenin signaling and tumor growth

Molecular Oncology, 2023
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is largely associated with aberrant activation of Wnt/β‐catenin signaling. Nevertheless, how membrane lipid composition is altered in HCC cells with abnormal Wnt signaling remains elusive.

Fermentative Production of Diacylglycerol by Endophytic Fungi Screened from Taxus chinensis var. mairei

Foods, 2023
Diacylglycerol (DAG) production by microbial fermentation has broad development prospects. In the present study, five endophytic fungi which could accumulate DAG were screened from Taxus chinensis var. mairei by using potato dextrose agar plate and flask

Perilipin 3 promotes the formation of membrane domains enriched in diacylglycerol and lipid droplet biogenesis proteins

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as intracellular stores of energy-rich neutral lipids. LDs form at discrete sites in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and they remain closely associated with the ER during lipogenic growth and lipolytic consumption.

Diverse antidepressants increase CDP-diacylglycerol production and phosphatidylinositide resynthesis in depression-relevant regions of the rat brain

BMC Neuroscience, 2008
Background Major depression is a serious mood disorder affecting millions of adults and children worldwide. While the etiopathology of depression remains obscure, antidepressant medications increase synaptic levels of monoamine neurotransmitters in brain

A human skin multifunctional O-acyltransferase that catalyzes the synthesis of acylglycerols, waxes, and retinyl esters

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Acyl-CoA-dependent O-acyltransferases catalyze reactions in which fatty acyl-CoAs are joined to acyl acceptors containing free hydroxyl groups to produce neutral lipids.
