Diacylglycerol kinase zeta ζ (DGKZ) belongs to the diacylglycerol kinase family. It is expressed in the central nervous system and comprises a nuclear localization signal, ankyrin repeats, and a PDZ-binding motif. DGKZ gene is localized on human chromosome 11p11.2.
Immunogen
DGKZ (NP_963290, 994-1029) This antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected from the C-terminal region of human DGKZ.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Diacylglycerol kinase zeta ζ (DGKZ) plays a key role in brain development. It mediates the conversion of diacylglycerol to phosphatidic acid. Elevated DGKZ levels is observed in human metastatic colon cancer. DGKZ protein defects are implicated in osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) leading to a phenotype characterized by fractures in utero and after birth, callus formation, and beaded ribs. DGKZ also regulates bone homeostasis. Knockdown of the DGKζ gene leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in glioma cells.
Physical form
Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide.

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a disabling and severe mental illness characterized by abnormal social behavior and disrupted emotions. Similar to other neuropsychological disorders, both genetics and environmental factors interplay so as to develop SCZ. It is acknowledged that genes such as

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a kind of heritable connective tissue disorder, including blue sclerae, hearing loss, skeletal dysplasia causing bone fragility and deformities. It is typically caused by collagen related gene mutations, which could lead to bone formation abnormalities. Scoliosis
Osteosarcoma (OS) is one of the most common primary bone tumors in children and young adults. The majority of osteosarcoma patients have limited alternative therapeutic options and metastatic patients generally have a poor prognosis. Thus, it is important to explore
Diacylglycerol kinases ζ (DGKζ) is a critical lipid kinase which is involved in phosphatidic acid (PA) generation via diacylglycerol (DAG) phosphorylation. DGKζ is highly expressed in central nervous system and essential for brain development. Studies have indicated that DGKζ is

Diacylglycerol (DAG) generation at the T cell immunological synapse (IS) determines the correct activation of antigen-specific immune responses. DAG kinases (DGKs) α and ζ act as negative regulators of DAG-mediated signals by catalyzing DAG conversion to phosphatidic acid (PA). Nonetheless
