PMID | Molecular properties of enzymes involved in diacylglycerol and phosphatidate metabolism. J Lipid Mediat Cell Signal. 1996 Sep; 14 (1-3): 245–50.PMID: 8906569 Diacylglycerol and phosphatidate serve as key lipid intermediates of glycerolipid biosynthesis and also as the second messengers liberated in signal-stimulated cells. The molecular properties of enzymes involved in the metabolic processing of the two lipids are largely unknown. We have revealed by cDNA cloning the presence of a novel enzyme family of diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) having unique structural characteristics. Furthermore, we recently identified the plasma membrane-bound phosphatidate phosphatase (PAP) as a 35 kDa glycoprotein. Detailed studies on the two enzymes would contribute to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the control of both glycerolipid biosynthesis and signal transduction. |
GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .
