Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Loss-of-function mutations in diacylglycerol kinase epsilon ( DGKE ) cause a rare form of atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS) for which there is no treatment besides kidney transplantation. Highly expressed in kidney endothelial cells, DGKE is a lipid kinase that phosphorylates diacylglycerol (DAG) to phosphatic acid (PA). Specifically, DGKE’s preferred substrate is 3...
