Diacylglycerol kinase (CTP dependent) explained

Diacylglycerol kinase (CTP dependent)
Ec Number:2.7.1.174

Diacylglycerol kinase (CTP dependent) (DAG kinase, CTP-dependent diacylglycerol kinase, diglyceride kinase) is an enzyme with systematic name CTP:1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphotransferase.[1] [2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

CTP + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol

\rightleftharpoons

CDP + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate

This enzyme requires Ca2+ or Mg2+ for activity.
