    text
  • translocated to plasma membrane after stimulation
  • DGKZ export from nucleus to cytoplasm is regulated by a leucine-rich nuclear export signal through the exportin CRM1
  • basic FUNCTION
  • regulating the nuclear level of diacylglycerol
  • may act as a downstream effector of RB1 to regulate nuclear levels of diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid
  • suppresses cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis and prevents impaired left ventricular systolic function caused by pressure overload
  • upstream regulator of oxidative stress-induced activation of the PKD signaling pathway in intestinal epithelial cells
  • induced in activated microglia in brain trauma, suggesting the functional significance of DGKzeta in this process
  • predominant DGK isoform in myocytes
  • DGKZ and TCR engagement activate signaling in both MTOR complexes 1 and 2 through the activation of the Ras-Mek1/2-Erk1/2-AP-1 pathway
  • is involved in IQGAP1/RAC1-mediated phagocytosis upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation in macrophages
  • crucial role in IQGAP1-mediated RAC1 activation during the process of LPS-activated phagocytosis of bacteria
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
  • within the cardiomyocyte, there exists a PPAR-DGK signalling axis that underpins the ability of PPAR ligands to inhibit EDN1-dependent hypertrophy
  • a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
  • ATP
  • protein
  • DGKzeta, but not DGKalpha or DGK, interacts with RB1
  • SNX27 is a partner of DGKZ, a negative regulator of T cell function that metabolises diacylglycerol to yield phosphatidic acid
  • IQGAP1 is a novel DGKZ-associating partner
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    activated by ligands of PPARG (troglitazone) or PPARA (fenofibrate) and was accompanied by increased DGK activity
