The Role of Diacylglycerol Kinase in the Amelioration of Diabetic Nephropathy
The drastic increase in the number of patients with diabetes and its complications is a global issue. Diabetic nephropathy, the leading cause of chronic kidney disease, significantly affects patients’ quality of life and medical expenses.

Diacylglycerol kinases in the regulation of dendritic spines [PDF]
J. Neurochem. (2010) 112, 577–587.AbstractDiacylglycerol (DAG) is an important lipid‐signaling molecule that binds and activates various downstream effectors. Tight control over the production and removal of DAG is important in maintaining the dynamic responses of the DAG signaling system to a changing environment.

Targeting diacylglycerol kinase α impairs lung tumorigenesis by inhibiting cyclin D3
Background Diacylglycerol kinase α (DGKA) is the first member discovered from the diacylglycerol kinase family, and it has been linked to the progression of various types of tumors. However, it is unclear whether DGKA is linked to the development of lung

Diacylglycerol kinase θ: Regulation and stability [PDF]
Given the well-established roles of diacylglycerol (DAG) and phosphatidic acid (PtdOH) in a variety of signaling cascades, it is not surprising that there is an increasing interest in understanding their physiological roles and mechanisms that regulate their cellular levels.

Diacylglycerol kinase alpha regulates post-hepatectomy liver regeneration
Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) phosphorylate diacylglycerol to generate phosphatidic acid, which plays important roles in intracellular signal transduction. DGKα is reportedly associated with progression of tumors, including hepatocellular carcinomas, but

The Ligand Binding Landscape of Diacylglycerol Kinases [PDF]
Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) are integral components of signal transduction cascades that regulate cell biology through ATP-dependent phosphorylation of the lipid messenger diacylglycerol. Methods for direct evaluation of DGK activity in native biological systems are lacking and needed to study isoform-specific functions of these multidomain lipid ...

Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK)θ is a lipid kinase that phosphorylates diacylglycerol to form phosphatidic acid (PA). We have previously shown that PA is a ligand for the nuclear receptor steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) and that cAMP-stimulated expression of ...
