| Function | Reverses the normal flow of glycerolipid biosynthesis by phosphorylating diacylglycerol back to phosphatidic acid. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm. Membrane. Note=Can be loosely bound to the membranes. |
| Tissue Specificity | Predominantly expressed in retina and in a much lesser extent in the brain. Other tissues contain extremely low levels of DGK-gamma. |
| Top Pathways | Choline metabolism in cancer, Glycerolipid metabolism, Glycerophospholipid metabolism, Phosphatidylinositol signaling system |
