Background
diacylglycerol kinase eta(DGKH) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) enzyme family. Members of this family are involved in regulating intracellular concentrations of diacylglycerol and phosphatidic acid. Variation in this gene has been associated with bipolar disorder. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014],
Function
catalytic activity:ATP + 1,2-diacylglycerol = ADP + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.,function:Phosphorylates diacylglycerol (DAG) to generate phosphatidic acid (PA).,PTM:Phosphorylated; does not inhibit catalytic activity.,similarity:Belongs to the eukaryotic diacylglycerol kinase family.,similarity:Contains 1 DAGKc domain.,similarity:Contains 1 PH domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain.,similarity:Contains 2 phorbol-ester/DAG-type zinc fingers.,subcellular location:Translocated from the cytoplasm to endosomes in response to stress stimuli. Isoform 2 is rapidly relocated back to the cytoplasm upon removal of stress stimuli, whereas isoform 1 exhibits sustained endosomal association.,subunit:Isoform 1 forms homooligomers through the SAM domain. Isoform 1 is also able to form heterooligomers with SAM domain-containing isoforms of DGKD. Oligomerization of isoform

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm . Cell membrane . Translocated from the cytoplasm to endosomes in response to stress stimuli (PubMed:12810723). Isoform 2 is rapidly relocated back to the cytoplasm upon removal of stress stimuli, whereas isoform 1 exhibits sustained endosomal association (PubMed:12810723). Translocates from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane in the presence of active GTP-bound form of HRAS (PubMed:19710016).
Tissue expression
[Isoform 1]: Expressed only in testis, kidney and colon. ; [Isoform 2]: Ubiquitously expressed.
