Cloning and Characterization of Diacylglycerol Kinase ι Splice Variants in Rat Brain

Abstract excerpt

Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) catalyzes phosphorylation of a second messenger diacylglycerol (DG) to phosphatidic acid in cellular signal transduction. Previous studies have revealed that DGK consists of a family of isozymes including our rat clones. In this study we isolated from rat brain cDNA library the cDNA clones for a rat homologue of DGKiota (rDGKiota-1) that contains two zinc finger-like sequences, the...
