DGK-a is an 80kD, 735aa, type I member of the eukaryocytic diacylglycerol kinase family of enzymes, possessing EF-hand, C1/Cys-rich zinc finger and catalytic domains. In T cells, IL-2 stimulates its translocation to the nucleus, promoting proliferation. TCR stimulation, however, promotes migration to the plasma membrane to downregulate RAS activation and maintain anergy. It also participates in VEGF or HGF-mediated motility in endothelial, epithelial, or cancer cells. Over aa1-162, which includes the first of two EF-hand motifs, human DGK-a shares 75aa identity with mouse and rat DGK-a.
