Abstract excerpt
Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) ɛ plays an important role in the resynthesis of phosphatidylinositol by mediating the phosphorylation of diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid. DGKɛ is unique among mammalian DGK isoforms in that it is the only one that shows acyl-chain selectivity, preferring diacylglycerols with an sn-2 arachidonoyl group. The region responsible for this arachidonoyl specificity is the lipoxygenase...
