| Function |
Phosphorylates diacylglycerol (DAG) to generate phosphatidic acid (PA). May regulate the activity of protein kinase C by controlling the balance between these two signaling lipids. Activated in the nucleus in response to alpha-thrombin and nerve growth factor (By similarity). May be involved in cAMP- induced activation of NR5A1 and subsequent steroidogenic gene transcription by delivering PA as ligand for NR5A1. Acts synergistically with NR5A1 on CYP17 transcriptional activity. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17664281}.

| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm. Cell membrane. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Nucleus. Nucleus speckle. Note=Translocates to the nucleus in response to thrombin stimulation (By similarity). Translocates to the plasma membrane in response to steroid hormone receptor stimulation. Translocation to the plasma membrane is dependent on G-protein coupled receptor stimulation and subsequent activation of PRKCE and probably PRKCH. {ECO:0000250}.
