Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables ATP-dependent diacylglycerol kinase activity and enzyme inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including glycerolipid metabolic process; lipid phosphorylation; and maintenance of postsynaptic density structure. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of Ras protein signal transduction. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DGKZ (diacylglycerol kinase zeta).
